  • Title: Creating Policy Solutions through Interdisciplinary Approaches in Personal and Workplace Environments

    Application of Interdisciplinary Studies in Creating Policy

    Your paper will be at least three pages long and will include these elements:
    Paper introduction and conclusion.
    Summary of each issue you see in your environment.
    Definition of why these are challenges.

    Explanation of a possible action plan and solution (“blueprint”) for each issue.
    Minimum of two references. The references should be peer reviewed and from the CSU Global LibraryLinks to an external site..
    The paper should be in APA format and conform to the CSU Global Writing CenterLinks to an external site..
