For students seeking to complete a graduate (master's) program in our public administration (MPA) degree, and perhaps return to work in their home countries, or for international organizations, our unique program has much to offer. For example, our MPA program focuses on expanding the meaning of public administration in government, non-profit, and community organizations. Emphasis is placed upon developing, in its graduates, sensitivities to a wide variety of human, social, and organizational realities in order to assist public organizations in formulating and achieving their goals and striving toward responsible social change. In sum, we believe the challenge of our changing post-industrial era is best met by humanizing public organizations, by strengthening their capacities for intelligent policy analysis and effective action on behalf of the puclic good, and by encouraging public administrators to embrace learning, creativity, and innovation.
