But the most innovative courses and workshops could perhaps only be found in an interdisciplinary, applied Ph.D. program dedicated to shaping a new generation of policy research. In their first two quarters, first-year fellows take four workshops on emerging issues. These examinations are built around a major policy issue, about which fellows are given a set of readings and data one week in advance. Three written examinations ask fellows to consider how research of various kinds might lead to more creative approaches to the issue. An oral examination the following week concludes the process.
