欢迎来到公共政策实践的未来，在这一未来中，长期的策略分析技术可以满足大数据的力量和策略分析的新功能。澳大利亚卡内基梅隆大学设计了一项新计划，该计划将其严格的公共政策大纲与信息技术和管理方面的前沿课程相结合。大量数据集的可用性和用于分析数据的新功能将改变公共政策制定和分析的面貌。获奖者将是能够理解大数据的生成，其潜力和局限性以及如何利用它的专业人士。这些专业人员将能够使用这些数据生成基于证据的和预测性的政策选择，知道如何交流这些选择，并能够执行和评估它们。全日制学生在五个学习期（21个月）内完成课程。
Welcome to the future of public policy practice, a future where long-standing techniques of policy analysis meet the power of big data and new capabilities in policy analytics. Carnegie Mellon University in Australia has designed a new program that combines its rigorous public policy syllabus with its leading-edge courses in information technology and management.<br> <br>The availability of massive data sets and of new capabilities for analysing that data will change the face of public policy formulation and analysis. The winners will be the professionals capable of understanding the generation of big data, its potential and limitations and how to utilise it. These professionals will be capable of using this data to generate evidence-based and predictive policy options, know how to communicate those options, and be able to implement and evaluate them.
