The Center for Public Administration and Policy promotes the common good of our constitutional republic and the advance of public service by providing outstanding education, research, and outreach in the theory and practice of public administration, management, and policy.

It is our goal to provide qualified public administrators currently in service, and early-career students who intend to become public administrators, with challenging applied and theoretical professional development opportunities in public management and public policy. The program prepares teachers and scholars for faculty service in colleges and universities around the country and the world who will educate citizens and administrators and broaden the scope of knowledge in public administration and policy studies. We engage faculty, practitioners, and graduate students in systematic research and study designed to improve the quality of policy making and public service within the diverse jurisdictions of government in the Commonwealth of Virginia, and the region as wells as the national and international levels.
