About the Program
The PhD program in Public Policy and Administration is an interdisciplinary program that prepares students to be senior-level leaders in public service fields, such as government agencies, non-profit organizations, and applied research environments. The curriculum is designed for full time students and working professionals seeking enhanced policy analysis skills and methodological preparation. There are also a number of opportunities for students to enroll full time, with the support of graduate research assistantships (GRAs).

“While in the program, I had the opportunity to work on interesting, hands-on projects through my classes and my research assistantship/job. Faculty and students in the program also have a broad array of interests and projects that they are working on, which provides chances to learn new approaches and expand one’s horizons.”
