Introduction

IPP students develop skills that span social work practice at individual and community levels, including program planning, advocacy, and evidence-based interventions. Courses take an integrated practice approach, with an emphasis on advocacy and social justice. Students learn to develop clinical practice programs, build teams, and write grants (with students occasionally securing actual funding for programs or agencies).

POL students learn how to effectively conduct policy analysis, policy advocacy, and research on behalf of a just society. Students learn how to identify a policy problem or social issue, then use the tools of policy analysis to devise a solution. Courses include microeconomics and macroeconomics, which show how to apply economic concepts to social issues. Students also add valuable data skills that allow them to draw actionable insights from data and then communicate those findings to audiences.
