Electives               

 

To complete the Hesburgh Program curriculum, a student must complete 3 elective courses; one in Research Tools, one in Values, and one in Institutions and Processes.  Please choose your electives outside your major(s) or other minor(s).

 

1.         Research Tools

 

These courses provide the student with an introduction to the tools and methods that are used to structure empirical evidence to inform public policy.  Research tools courses can be broadly defined in two categories.  One group offers students training in rational analysis.  Another group of courses introduces tools and methods for analyzing empirical evidence.

 

The following courses fulfill the ÒResearch ToolsÓ requirement. (Choose one)

 

For all HESB courses, get approval from the Hesburgh Office

2.         Values

 

The Values section addresses two different value dimensions of public policy. First, public policy choices are made within a context of assumed values and preferences. Second, we assess policy choices and their consequences in light of ethical arguments and claims. Values courses contribute to the student's capacity for reflection about normative aspects of public policy. What is the idea of the good that we seek to achieve through a specific policy? Values courses may also introduce the student to analytic tools for assessing the ethical implications of public policy choices.

 

The following courses fulfill the ÒValuesÓ requirement.  (Choose one).
