Gateway
Course: Introduction to Public
Policy
"Introduction to Public Policy" is the gateway course for 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
This 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 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.
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)

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)

United States. Most of the courses

perspective that is decidedly either substantive, organizational, or
procedural.
