What are Careers in Public Affairs? Does a student have to take both policy analysis and public administration courses?
The La Follette faculty believe that students need skills in public management and policy analysis to be an effective administrator and policy analyst. Once the student has taken the core courses they can choose to specialize more in management or in policy analysis depending on which electives they choose. A student who prefers to work in non-profit or management will take electives such as Advanced Management, Performance Management and Personnel Management. A student who plans to become an analyst can choose to take electives such as Program Evaluation, Advanced Statistical Methods for Public Policy and Benefit-Cost Analysis.
