Welcome to the Department of Public
Administration at the Maxwell School
The challenges before governments
at all levels in the United States, and all over the globe, have
never been greater. Dedicated professionals who share the
vision of serving others — whether they do so in government
organizations, the non-profit sector or
private institutions — are needed
to make the world a better place.
The Maxwell School offers an
innovative and rewarding learning environment — rich in
tradition, welcoming all who seek to study public management and
policy. Here you acquire the knowledge and skills necessary to
begin or enhance your career in public service, imbued with
values which undergird a lifetime of civic involvement.
The Maxwell School offers three
distinct graduate programs in public administration and policy
The MPA and EMPA degrees emphasize
professional development and prepare students for management and
leadership positions in government and non-profit
organizations. The PhD in Public Administration is an
academic/research degree, designed to prepare the next
generation of scholars and academicians.
Our three programs have earned
world-wide reputations for their intellectual rigor, quality of
students and faculty, and first-rate facilities. While each
program has its own criteria for admissions and guidelines for
application, the students in the MPA, EMPA and PhD programs study
together and thereby create a unique environment that
contributes to the Maxwell School’s distinctive character among
graduate programs of public policy and management.
