9. Why Chicago Harris? Chicago Harris sets the standard for effective public policy leadership. We evaluate policy options based on evidence first, then consider implementation in the real world. No other school shares our commitment to shaping policy in this way. We take great pride in our approach. Our students develop the intellectual tools to tackle the most challenging social, educational, and economic issues facing our world. Harris faculty routinely break ground — and preconceptions — with their research on a wide array of topics including energy, health care, crime, inequality, and early childhood development.
