Doctor of Philosophy

The doctor of philosophy (Ph.D.) program in public administration trains prospective faculty and researchers. Before enrolling, applicants must have received a master's of public administration (M.P.A.) degree or other relevant master's degree, for example in political science, social work, education, law, or public health. Areas of possible specialization within the Ph.D. in public administration reflect the research interests of current faculty and students and include public management, human resource management, nonprofit management and philanthropy, and public budgeting and finance.
