Senior Capstone in Government is a new offering in Spring 2025.
The Senior Capstone provides seniors in Government the opportunity to develop a capstone project centered on practical, real-world policy analysis. Class meetings guide students through key stages of policy development, including proposal writing, stakeholder analysis, and research methods. Peer review and formal presentations will help students hone their analytical and communication skills. By the end of the course, students will produce actionable policy analysis with real-word applications.
Government 98 is open to all seniors who are doing the Government concentration or secondary field. It is particularly appropriate for students in the public policy program and those who would like a culminating project that is less time intensive than writing a senior honors thesis. For more information, please review the draft syllabus on the course Canvas site.
Seniors can still add Gov 98 to their course enrollment during open add/drop in January 2025. Please email undergrad@gov.harvard.edu with any questions.
