    Policy Analysis(18 credit hours) The Policy Analysis concentrationfocuses on developing the skills to create and consumeaccurate and actionable research and informationdesigned to address public policy problems.

    The Policy Analysis concentration requirementsemphasize the acquisition of quantitative skills that maybe used to inform public policy decisions. The PolicyAnalysis field electives aim to provide students withadditional quantitative and qualitative skills used for policyanalysis, and/or to provide students with the contextualknowledge needed to analyze policies in a substantivearea. The electives change frequently, and often includetopics courses as well as courses in a wide variety ofpolicy areas: health, economic development, education,social policy transportation, energy, etc. In general, thissubstantive knowledge component requires more than onecourse in the same area. Consequently, it is important thatthe plan include early consultation with a concentrationadvisor.

    Students may also acquire this substantive knowledgeby combining the Policy Analysis concentration withother concentrations that may require fewer tool skills.For example, dual concentrations in Policy Analysis andSustainable Development would prepare one to do workin sustainability with a more analytical approach. Studentsmay not use MPA core courses to fulfill concentrationrequirements.

    Policy Analysis Skills (9 credit hours)The following course is required:

    Master of Public Affairs–Doctor of JurisprudenceThe combined Master of Public Affairs–Doctor ofJurisprudence program enables the student to take a four-year sequence of courses leading to both degrees.

    Application and AdmissionThe applicant must have a bachelor’s degree from anaccredited institution of higher education and must applyseparately to both the Maurer School of Law and theSchool of Public and Environmental Affairs.

    If the applicant is admitted to only one school, theapplicant is permitted to attend that school and is, ofcourse, required to meet the graduation requirements ofthat school. It is recommended that the student apply toboth schools simultaneously for the combined M.P.A.–J.D. program. It is possible, however, for a personalready enrolled in the Maurer School of Law to applyfor admission to the School of Public and EnvironmentalAffairs up to the end of the second year of law study. It isalso possible for a student enrolled in the School of Publicand Environmental Affairs to seek admission to the MaurerSchool of Law up to the end of the first year of the M.P.A.course of study.

    Academic StandingGrade point averages in the Maurer School of Law and theSchool of Public and Environmental Affairs are computedseparately. To continue in the program, the student mustmeet the academic standards in each school. A studentfailing in one school but meeting academic standardsin the other may complete work for the degree in theschool in which the student is able to meet the academicstandards. Such completion must be according to thesame conditions (credit hours, residency, etc.) required ofregular (noncombination) degree candidates; that is, 82credit hours in law and 48 credit hours in SPEA.

    School ResidencyStudents in the dual M.P.A.–J.D. program should enroll incourses through the School of Public and EnvironmentalAffairs in the first year of the program and through theMaurer School of Law in the second year of the program.Alternatively, dual M.P.A.–J.D. students do have theoption of enrolling in courses through the School of Law—Bloomington in the first year and in SPEA in the secondyear. In the third and fourth years, or until the programis completed, students should enroll through the schoolin which the majority of their credit hours reside in eachenrollment period.
