Capstone Project Sponsor Information Session

July 11, 2023

11:00 AM - 12:00 PM

The UIC Department of Public Policy, Management and Analytics is once again soliciting proposals for MPA and MPP capstone project teams for the upcoming Fall 2023 semester!  The capstone project is meant to be a “learning in action” experience that gives students in the Master of Public Administration and Master of Public Policy programs the opportunity to engage in meaningful work in a real-world setting.  Each capstone team works with the client organization on a particular problem or challenge to which the students can apply their training and expertise.  Potential areas of specialization include financial management; human resource management; public policy; program evaluation; and information management.  The projects last the entire semester (early January through May) in order to provide the students an opportunity to perform in-depth work, including data analysis.  In return, the capstone teams can also provide a valuable and free service to their respective clients by working together in addressing the identified needs.

 

The deadline for submission of project proposals for the Fall 2023 semester is Friday, July 21, 2023.  The RFP document is attached to this email and can also be found, along with the the application form and examples of past projects, at https://go.uic.edu/capstone.

The capstone information session for project sponsors will be held via Zoom on Tuesday, July 11, 2023, 11 AM.  Please consider participating if you have any questions or need guidance.  You may register for the session by clicking on the link below.
