Welcome to the Department of Public Administration
The department's ten faculty, two professional staff, an internship coordinator, and three practitioners-in-residence provide the strong academic and intentionally practical education that results in meaningful career paths for undergraduates interested in degrees in urban policy and planning or nonprofit leadership studies.
Graduate students can pursue an MPA in the #5 ranked program in local government management or a PhD program in public administration and management. We also offer certificate programs in volunteer management and alternative dispute resolution (ADR).
