Gateway
Course: Introduction to Public
Policy
"Introduction to Public Policy" is the gateway course in the interdisciplinary minor curriculum. It is REQUIRED for all minors and offered once a year in the spring.
*HESB 20010, "Introduction to
Public Policy," Professor
De Ridder MW 1:30-2:45
The course explores the process, substance, and efficacy of public policy making and implementation in the United States. Attention is given to how government identifies problems and formulates policies meant to address them. The course examines the policy process, and also focuses on the substance of public policies through the work of student research teams, debates, and case studies. The course is open only to students who are in the Hesburgh Program, and have completed, or are in the process of completing, Introduction to American Government and Introduction to Economics.
The Hesburgh
Program curriculum includes 3 electives: one in Research Tools, one in Values,
and one in Institutions and Processes. ELECTIVES
ARE TO BE CHOSEN OUTSIDE OF A STUDENTÕS MAJOR(S).
1. Research
Tools (Choose one)
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.

2. Values (Choose one)
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.
