Because policy analysis interacts with the technical elements of particular disciplines, all schools and many departments in the university offer courses that meet these requirements. For the most part, the common denominator is the extensive use of tabular analysis, decision theory, statistics, simulation, and optimization as research tools. Such courses differ from theoretical, quantitative methods courses taught in the Statistics or Operations Research Departments by their strong commitment to application. Students choosing such courses, therefore, need to consider their interest in the field in which the course is being given in addition to the methodology being presented. It is also advisable in most recommended courses that concentrators have an above-average background in mathematics, statistics, and computation.

This post-core coursework must be coherent, either in the sense that the courses offer complementary perspectives on common policy issues or in the sense that the courses build on each other sequentially. Also, the coursework should apply skills acquired in one or more of the program’s core courses. As a rule, concentration coursework should consist of upper‐division (100‐level) courses and be taken for a letter grade. Students may design their concentration coursework with the help of their faculty advisors.

Students must submit a concentration form, to be approved by a faculty advisor and the program director, before the end of spring quarter of the junior year, listing their proposed concentration courses and a brief explanation of how these courses fulfill the concentration.

In addition to the concentrations listed, students can design their own concentration should none of the listed topics fit their interests. Below is a list of suggested courses. The list includes classes that students have taken in the past to complete this particular concentration, as well as additional classes that may be considered for this topic. Students may choose to take other courses, though all concentration courses must be discussed with and approved by the faculty advisor whether or not they are on the suggested list. Students may also propose directed reading, Overseas Studies (BOSP), and Bing Stanford in Washington (BSIW) courses.
