Decision-Making in Public Affairs

Catalog description

Public affairs decisions are made in the context of imperfect information; uncertain events, conditions, and outcomes; and conflicts over values. Yet despite these challenges, decisions must be made in order to meet a wide range of societal objectives. A diverse set of models and methods can be used to analyze and guide decisions in operational, managerial, and policy settings. CAS-C. Prerequisite: POL 241 or POL 261 or POL 243 .
