The certificate in public policy is a multi-departmental certificate and consists of three 3-credit required courses (PLAN 600 - Public Policy and Planning Theory , PUBA 609 - Policy Analysis and Implementation , and one methods course selected from a pre-approved list) and two 3-credit elective courses selected from a pre-approved list. The student in consultation with their advisor selects elective courses. Students wishing to move from the certificate into the MPA (or any other master’s degree) must apply for and be formally accepted into the respective master’s program. Students may also concurrently enroll in a master’s or doctoral degree and the certificate in public policy.
