What you will study

Our program provides students with high quality research and teaching experiences. Doctoral students of public administration become active researchers beginning in their first year as part of their research apprenticeship under the direction of their faculty advisor. Many, depending on their area of specialty, conduct their research in one of Maxwell's 14 established interdisciplinary research centers, or myriad research opportunities working with faculty or institutes across campus.
