Cristina Stanica

Assistant Teaching Professor of Public Policy and Administration

Most of her teaching is in critical core courses that support the MPA and MPP programs, in particular Techniques of Policy Analysis and Principles of Public Administration, as well as electives such as Comparative Public Policy and Administration.
