BC Priorities Project Information
The BC Priorities Project (BCP) program is an excellent way for provincial and municipal governments, agencies and not for profit organizations to engage with the School of Public Policy and work with a dedicated student team on a policy problem over a four to six-month period.
A mainstay of the MPP curriculum for over a decade, the BC Priorities Project enhances student learning through the opportunity to work collaboratively with peers on public policy issues of concern to government ministries and community agencies.
