Course Description:
'' Public administrators frame policy proposals, provide information to elected officials about policy alternatives, implement policy, and evaluate policy. In fact, empirical policy analysis was pioneered at the turn of the 20th century by practitioners in public administration many years before academicians began to do it! This specialization equips the student with the necessary methodological, statistical, and measurement skills to study the possible consequences of proposed public policies, and to design and administer program evaluations.
It is for pre-service students who want to pursue careers in such areas as staffing of legislative committees and as program evaluation specialists. It is also suited to the needs of in-service students who are involved in some aspect of policy development or program evaluation but need additional quantitative and analytical skills.
This specialization is oriented toward the development of skills -- research design, development of policy indicators, and research methods -- that can be applied in various program contexts. Although quantitative studies are stressed, the required course for the specialization, PAD 5327, provides an overview of the political and organizational context of evaluation activities. Students wishing to work in a special policy area, such as health policy, should obtain additional substantive knowledge about the particular topic. Program evaluators, for example, spend a great deal of their time learning about the substantive issues in a specific policy area, such as mental health or environmental pollution, prior to designing an evaluation.
