Policy Solutions Challenge USA is a national competition among teams of students from U.S. schools of public policy, public affairs and public administration to develop innovative solutions to the most important policy problems facing the country.
These students represent the next generation of skilled policy analysts, prepared by the schools of public policy, public affairs and public administration to draw upon the tools of economics, statistics, political science, organizational management and law to design new responses to the difficult issues confronting federal, state and local governments. If the U.S. is to thrive in the 21st century, these professionally trained policy analysts must contribute actively to shaping public policy.
Here are the teams that have been invited to the semifinal round of competition in 2016:
- American University, School of Public Affairs.
- University of Arkansas, Clinton School of Public Service.
- University of Colorado at Denver, School of Public Affairs (two teams from this school).
- University of Utah, Master of Public Policy Program (defending two-time national champion).
- University of Wisconsin, La Follette School of Public Affairs (2013 national champion).
