The doctor of philosophy program in public administration trains prospective faculty, researchers, and public sector leaders. Before enrolling, applicants must have received an M.P.A. degree or other relevant master`s degrees. In addition to public administration, the Ph.D. program considers applicants holding advanced degrees from a variety of degree areas, including political science, social work, education, law, or public health.

Can I attend your doctoral program full-time while working elsewhere part-time or full-time? 
No.  By accepting admission as full-time doctoral students, applicants commit themselves not to take or continue paid employment, even self-employment, outside the university.  Our faculty have the highest standards of performance at the doctoral level, and in order to meet those standards, full-time students must really study full-time.
