Department Overview
Through its teaching and key location in Washington, DC, the Department of Public Administration and Policy (DPAP) enhances the knowledge, professional skills, and leadership potential of its students, preparing them for careers in the public service and related spheres.
Graduate degrees offered by the department include the Public Administration (MPA) , Public Policy (MPP) , online Public Administration and Policy (MPAP) , and Public Administration and Policy (PhD) . The department also offers a variety of noncredit and nondegree executive education programs. DPAP has three programs accredited by the Network of Schools of Public Policy, Affairs, and Administration (NASPAA). The United States and other governments worldwide face the challenge of discerning how best to harness the energy and expertise of public servants, the passion and commitment of nonprofit organizations, and the dynamism and creativity of markets in the pursuit of democratic and constitutionally informed public purposes. We educate students entering, engaged in, and interacting with government agencies in the United States and abroad. We treat administration and policy as interrelated subjects strongly influenced by the values of public service and democratic constitutionalism. Through our research and civic involvement, we also seek to shape and enhance what is practiced and taught in our field.
