Policy Lab (GMA-P243)

Spring 2025 · GMA P243 · Tufts University · 1.5 credits · Undergraduate

The Policy Lab will cover critical steps in the policy development process including assessment, problem analysis, objectives setting, solutions development, and stakeholder engagement. We will introduce the stages and data requirements of policy design. At each step, students will apply the process to a case study, and, ultimately, to a challenge of their choosing. The course will culminate in students applying policy development processes to a real-world challenge that they wish to address. Individually, they will conduct primary and secondary research to understand the challenge context and its root causes. They will complete the course with a well-designed solution (public policy proposal, business plan, or project charter), and will present this solution through a policy pitch.
