The focus of this graduate seminar is on education policy as it applies to higher education. The course will focus on various phases of the public policy process, including policy formulation, implementation, and evaluation.

In an environment of rapid change and constrained resources, public- and private sector organizations are engaged in high-risk, high-visibility projects. As a result, organizations are recognizing the linkage between solid project management and organizational success and survival, and managers at all levels are being challenged to manage complex projects. Project management is an increasingly desirable skill set for those aspiring to senior management roles. This course exposes students to requirements for effective project management and the many challenges it presents. The course will introduce students to international standards and methods for project management, the application of project management tools, and the basic, ancillary, and “soft” skills necessary for successful project management. Prerequisite: PPM 810 or equivalent.
