The Howard H. Baker Jr. School of Public Policy and Public Affairs offers a minor in public policy analytics that is open to students pursuing any major. The minor is intended to provide skills in employing advanced analytical methods that have become critical to the design, implementation and evaluation of public policy on the part of government agencies, nonprofits, think tanks and academicians. Students are exposed to the foundations of public policy and the policy-making process, analytical tools from economics and political science, quantitative methods and program evaluation techniques, and development of a portfolio that requires hands-on applications in conducting public policy research.
