Work with real-world clients & hone your professional policy skills
People who choose to attend a professional program have a reasonable expectation of graduating with the skills to move directly into a professional career. We realize this and work hard to build a wide variety of experiential learning experiences into our curriculum. Our Capstone program is one example of this. The program was designed to help you solidify your policy acumen and enhance your consulting toolkit by putting you to work with real-world clients. Over the course of a semester, you learn project management, evaluation, teamwork, and leadership skills while engaged in a meaningful project.
Interested in the work that current students have been doing? The listing below includes a sampling of Fall 2017 Capstone Clients and Projects. You will find additional case studies on the CIPA website. (more…)
