NEW MPA CAPSTONE SECTION ADDED - Spring 2020
PAF 9190 Wednesdays 6:05 - 9:00 PM with Professor Neil Sullivan

The syllabus for my PAF 9100 course states that the purpose of the MPA program is to make you more powerful so that you can serve people who need help in navigating American government. The primary goal of the Capstone is a project to fulfill that purpose by tackling some problem of your choosing and creating a means of solving or ameliorating that problem. You'll write a paper that describes how you're turning your idea into reality.
