Travel to the nation's capital to discover how public policy affects business on every scale, from the domestic market to the global economy. You'll track policy from its creation to the ethics of its outcomes to find solutions that benefit not just businesses or government, but society.
This program will add value to one's learning experience and strengthen leadership abilities. I highly recommend it.
