PubPol 480 is an advanced undergraduate seminar designed to challenge public policy majors to consider how policy issues are framed and addressed in a non-U.S. context. It includes traditional coursework and a one-week policy study tour in a country beyond the United States.

For 2022/23, the course will focus on international politics in Europe and culminate in a trip to Brussels, Belgium, health conditions permitting. 

Please join Professor Jon Hanson for an info session about this exciting opportunity!
