Building & Scaling Social Impact Program

This course aims to help students understand and define social impact and its role in today's policy and social justice landscape by unpacking various types of social impact programs and evaluating them through the lens of their effectiveness relative to other approaches to solving complex problems. The class will look at impact through from multiple perspectives including business, government, and nonprofits.

Students will both learn how to assess social impact and evaluate their effectiveness in comparison to other types of interventions. As well, they will develop and design a social impact program framework for both a business and a nonprofit.
