Quantitative Analysis II for Internation
MPA Quantitative II Core.
This course introduces regression analysis as a key tool for policy analysis and program evaluation. Emphasizing causal inference, students will learn to assess the impacts of programs and policies using both experimental and non-experimental methods. The first half of the course reviews foundational concepts from Quant I and builds toward multiple regression techniques; the second half applies those tools to real-world policy settings. Designed for future practitioners, the course focuses on applying and communicating statistical concepts in accessible, non-technical language, and prepares students for advanced coursework in data analysis and program evaluation.

Introduction to Health Economics
INTRODUCTN TO HEALTH ECON
Health economics provides theories and tools for understanding, predicting, and changing human behavior. Understanding and changing the behavior of firms and individuals, designing health policies, and managing firms and organizations concerned with delivering health care and improving health, requires a solid foundation in health economics. In this course, students will learn the concepts in health economics most relevant and important to public health professionals and how these economic concepts can be applied to improving health care and the public health systems. Students will identify the basic concepts of health economics for the purposes of solving problems using these concepts, and apply these concepts in new contexts within public health.

Impact Measurement and Program Evaluatio
Impact & Program Evaluati
In this intensive course, Executive MPA students will learn how to manage an impact measurement and program evaluation lifecycle through lectures, discussions, case studies, readings, and a team project. Students will learn and apply core concepts, methodologies, and frameworks used in the field, as well as be introduced to the use of technologies such as lean data, AI, geospatial tools, mobile, and NLP. Students will consider how to account for diverse stakeholders, risks, counterfactuals, attribution, and the ethical issues involved in data collection, analysis, and reporting. They will also examine critical questions, including: What is the impact, and who is to define it? How do we account for unintended consequences? How should long-term outcomes be measured meaningfully while satisfying short-term investment horizons? Finally, students will consider how the practice of impact measurement and program evaluation can be leveraged to inform program design and strategy, strengthen mission alignment, deepen accountability, and foster a culture of continuous learning in government, nonprofit, and private sector actors.

Global Reliance-Russian E
This course examines the global reliance on Russian energy exports in the aftermath of the 2022 invasion of Ukraine and the realignment of geopolitical and energy markets. Students will assess whether Russia can operate without Western customers and whether the West can isolate Russia while securing its own energy needs. The course explores disrupted energy ties between Russia and Europe, shifting alliances with China, India, the Middle East, and the Arctic, and how sanctions have reshaped oil and gas flows worldwide. Through regional case studies and up-to-date policy analysis, students will investigate Russia's role in OPEC+, the Black and Caspian Seas, and the future of European energy diversification, including hydrogen initiatives.

ANALYTCS/MANAGR DECISION
Analytics and Managerial Decision-Making I is the first of two required quantitative methods courses taken in sequence by all MHA students. These courses are foundational to the MHA curriculum. The two courses are fully integrated with respect to materials, exercises and cases, and by a two-term, team-based application project.
Managers are continually confronted with the need to make significant decisions concerning the organizational and financial performance of a health organization, based on a combination of strategic intention, practical experience, and interpretation and application of complex data and information. Data analysis is one tool that supports such decision-making. This course is designed to provide management students with the tools to generate and present data-driven and model-based management recommendations that are meaningful and implementable.
The course focuses on learning basic tools for the collection, analysis, and presentation of data in support of managerial/executive decision-making. Topics will include introductory data and statistical exploration from basic descriptive statistics to population and market estimation, comparison testing and decision-making, sampling design and analysis, and predicting/forecasting using linear regression. Using Excel as an additional tool, the course develops analytical skills to prepare managers to make and to present informed decisions in the overall healthcare sector.

Putin and Global Anti-Americanism
Putin & Global AntiAmeric
This course explores the development of relations between Russia and the United States from the end of the Cold War to the present day. It also reveals a broader trend: in the early 1990s, it seemed that Western liberal values were triumphant worldwide. However, as Russia failed to transition into a democratic state, anti-Americanism and revanchism began to flourish. After becoming president, Vladimir Putin exploited these sentiments, ultimately making anti-Americanism a central aspect of his international political agenda. Russian propaganda has not only influenced the Russian population but also seeks to spread these ideas and conspiracy theories beyond Russia’s borders. As an inherently unstable political system, Russia aims to destabilize the West. The course concludes with an analysis of present-day dynamics.

War Against Liberal Democracy: Weaponiza
This course explores how the Russian state under Vladimir Putin has deployed homophobia and appeals to "traditional values" as tools of political control, ideological warfare, and foreign policy. It examines the domestic origins of this agenda, the role of propaganda platforms such as RT and Russian troll farms in exporting these narratives globally, and the resonance of Russian-style traditionalism in various geopolitical contexts—including Eastern Europe, the Arab world, Asia, Africa, and the Americas.
Through case studies, media analysis, and frameworks from political science, media studies, and queer theory, students will assess how authoritarian regimes manipulate ideas of gender, family, and "moral order" to undermine liberal democracy and build international ideological alliances. The course includes comparative analysis with other illiberal regimes, media literacy work on disinformation, and attention to resistance efforts by civil society and LGBTQ+ communities. Guest speakers may join some sessions to provide firsthand insight into these global dynamics.

This course provides students with practical skills to communicate clearly and persuasively on issues they care about. Whether writing to influence policy, shape public opinion, or present ideas within an organization, the ability to craft sharp, purposeful messages is essential. Students will learn to distill their key arguments, adapt their writing for different audiences, and develop strong foundational pieces such as op-eds, press releases, and policy memos. The course also introduces generative AI tools as part of the writing process—teaching students how to use AI to brainstorm, draft, and revise more efficiently, while critically assessing its outputs. As AI transforms how we write and communicate, this course equips students to harness its benefits while maintaining their own voice, judgment, and clarity of thought.

QUESTIONS-ANTHROP THRY II:HIST
This course surveys the historical relationships between anthropological thought and its generic inscription in the form of ethnography. Readings of key ethnographic texts will be used to chart the evolving paradigms and problematics through which the disciplines practitioners have conceptualized their objects and the discipline itself. The course focuses on several key questions, including: the modernity of anthropology and the value of primitivism; the relationship between history and eventfulness in the representation of social order, and related to this, the question of anti-sociality (in crime, witchcraft, warfare, and other kinds of violence); the idea of a cultural world view; voice, language, and translation; and the relationship between the form and content of a text. Assignments include weekly readings and reviews of texts, and a substantial piece of ethnographic writing. Limited to PhD students in Anthropology only.
