  POLS/ECON 344   Policy and Program Analysis Opportunity with MacEwan University Do you have a policy, program or service that could make a difference in people's lives but needs to be formally analyzed? MacEwan University’s political science students can work with your organization, in the government, private or non-profit sector, to assess, document and present the outcomes that your initiative could produce, who it would affect and how much it would cost. The analysis will provide information and resources that can inform internal decisions and be shared externally with funders, stakeholders and the public. In the winter 2025 term, our student teams will work with your organization to conduct an analysis of your chosen initiative after they receive training in formal policy analysis techniques (e.g. cost-benefit analysis, GBA+) as part of their senior level political science seminar. Your organization is expected to meet periodically with the students to advise them and provide or connect the student team with the information needed to complete their analysis.
