About this course
This intermediate course explains the journey of public policy from a problem in a community to a law that runs a program. You will learn how policies get proposed, funded, and evaluated, and you will tour the major program areas that shape daily life: retirement benefits, healthcare, education, housing, and transportation. The final lesson gives you a citizen checklist for evaluating any policy on your own.
