POLS 3392 Archer Policy Making Process

This course provides an overview of how policy is made at the federal level. Through various readings you will become familiar with the process as it is designed. Through in-class discussions, on-the-job experiences and meeting Washington powerbrokers who help craft policy, you will see how the process actually works. The course will be interactive, with a strong focus on in-class discussion and guest speakers who will challenge your views and provide an insiders perspective on Washington. One policy area will be focused on per semester to provide a thought provoking issue to study, discuss, and analyze.
