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.

• The project begins in October, with the project completion in late March/early April
• The BCP is faculty-guided, through two MPP courses in the fall and spring semesters
• A team of four to five, first-year MPP students work on a BCP project
• Deliverables include a major, written report of research findings and recommendations, plus a presentation to a partner organization
• Typically,. there are six to eight BCP projects with partner organizations per year, each starting in October
• Organizations interested in becoming a BCP project partner should contact the School of Public Policy between May and July by emailing Professor Kennedy Stewart
