MSP 5010 Contemporary Community Issues
The course examines a number of contemporary community issues. Practicing professionals who are civic and governmental leaders may be used as resource individuals in assisting the student to identify, analyze, confront, and solve a specific community problem. Case studies, group presentations, in-class discussions, and structured research are designed to enhance the learning environment. The role and use of power in problem solving by community and/or governmental leaders will be discussed. A secondary goal of the course is for each student to develop an understanding of how he/she can become a community problem-solver.
