Master of PublicAffairs (M.P.A.)The Master of Public Affairs program is aninterdisciplinary, professional program thatprepares students for positions in local, state, orfederal government, quasi-governmental service,or the nonprofit (including philanthropic) arena.It broadens students’ comprehension of theeconomic, environmental, political, and socialcontext in which the public servant works. Thecourse of study requires completion of (1) theM.P.A. core, (2) the concentration requirement,(3) the experiential requirement, and (4)sufficient electives and/or prior professionalexperience credit to total 48 credit hours.

The curriculum of this program as contained inthe core requirements encompasses preparationin a broad range of skills relevant to theoperation of public or nonprofit agencies. It isbased on the academic disciplines but notlimited to any one. It is also problem-oriented,bringing the disciplines to bear on critical social,environmental, economic, and administrativeissues.

Although the environment of public service isdiverse and changing, effectiveness in thatenvironment requires the development of specialskills attained through detailed study in a chosenfield of concentration. The fields of concentrationspan the variety of professional specialties found inpublic service. Thus, the program providesexpertise in the core requirement and in a specificconcentration area, as well as a general workingknowledge of public affairs.

The M.P.A. program is fully accredited by theNational Association of Schools of Public Affairsand Administration (NASPAA).

Degree Requirements(48 credit hours)The core requirements of the M.P.A. degreeconsist of 18 credit hours of work in six courses.Each student must also complete therequirements of (at least) one concentration.

The remaining credit hours necessary forgraduation, if any, are general electives that canbe used to add breadth to a student’s program;to further explore a field of concentration; or to

enhance skills in foreign languages, quantitativetools, or administrative techniques.

Master of PublicAffairs–Doctor ofJurisprudence (M.P.A.–J.D.)The combined Master of Public Affairs–Doctor ofJurisprudence program enables the student totake a four-year sequence of courses leading toboth degrees.

Application andAdmissionThe applicant must have a bachelor’s degreefrom an accredited institution of highereducation and must apply separately to both theMauer School of Law and the School of Publicand Environmental Affairs.

If the applicant is admitted to only one school,the applicant is permitted to attend that schooland is, of course, required to meet thegraduation requirements of that school. It isrecommended that the student apply to bothschools simultaneously for the combinedM.P.A.–J.D. program. It is possible, however, fora person already enrolled in the Mauer School ofLaw to apply for admission to the School ofPublic and Environmental Affairs up to the endof the second year of law study. It is alsopossible for a student enrolled in the School ofPublic and Environmental Affairs to seekadmission to the Mauer School of Law up to theend of the first year of the M.P.A. course ofstudy.

Academic Standing Grade point averages inthe Mauer School of Law and the School ofPublic and Environmental Affairs are computedseparately. To continue in the program, thestudent must meet the academic standards ineach school. A student failing in one school butmeeting academic standards in the other maycomplete work for the degree in the school inwhich the student is able to meet the academicstandards. Such completion must be accordingto the same conditions (credit hours, residency,etc.) required of regular (noncombination)degree candidates; that is, 82 credit hours in lawand 48 credit hours in SPEA. Students areeligible for honors in each school based on thecriteria of each school.

School Residency Students in the jointM.P.A.–J.D. program should enroll in coursesthrough the School of Public and EnvironmentalAffairs in the first year of the program and throughthe Mauer School of Law in the second year of theprogram. Alternatively, joint M.P.A.–J.D. studentsdo have the option of enrolling in courses throughthe School of Law—Bloomington in the first yearand in SPEA in the second year. In the third andfourth years, or until the program is completed,students should enroll through the school inwhich the majority of their credit hours reside ineach enrollment period.

Master of Science inEnvironmentalScience (M.S.E.S.)The Master of Science in Environmental Science(M.S.E.S.) program educates professionals whocombine specialization in an area ofenvironmental science or management with theanalytical and policy skills necessary to apply thatknowledge in a broader context. This degreeprogram includes an experiential requirement,usually fulfilled by an internship, but also allowsfor a research focus culminating in a traditionalmaster’s thesis.

For students desiring more in-depth study inenvironmental science, the M.S.E.S. program isan excellent preparation for entry into the Ph.D.in Environmental Science program. Alternatively,students desiring more in-depth preparation inpolicy, law, or other related fields can combinetheir M.S.E.S. degree with a degree in PublicAffairs (M.P.A.–M.S.E.S), law (M.S.E.S.–J.D.), or anumber of other disciplines in Biology,Geography, Geological Sciences, or Journalism.

Degree Requirements The M.S.E.S. program requires 48 credit hoursdistributed among four sets of courses: sciencecourses, policy and management courses, toolskill courses, and an experiential requirement.There are no required courses per se; however,each student is expected to demonstrate severalcompetencies, depending on his or herconcentration. These competencies includerelevant natural and physical sciences,economics, policy or law, and quantitative

problem solving. A Curriculum AdvisoryCommittee works with the student to ensurethat these competencies are met and that thestudent is pursuing a suitable plan of study. Thiscurriculum provides students with a generalknowledge of environmental science andmanagement, the tool skills to allow them toapply that knowledge, and a specialized area ofexpertise.

Entrance Requirements All students must have undergraduatecoursework relevant to their intended area offocus in the M.S.E.S. degree program. Studentsare expected to have an adequate background inquantitative natural science subjects (e.g.,mathematics, chemistry, and biology/ecology),which may vary according to the concentrationthe student selects.

Prior ProfessionalExperience CreditThe M.S.E.S. program director of the School ofPublic and Environmental Affairs may grant up to12 credit hours toward the M.S.E.S. degree forstudents who have had significant technicalor administrative work experience in theirbackgrounds. Credit will be granted for workexperience gained until the end of the semesterin which the student completes 24 credit hoursaccording to the following guidelines.1. To receive 3 credit hours, a student must

have a minimum of one year’s technical oradministrative work experience.

2. 6 credit hours will be awarded for one tofour years of experience in environmentalscience or environmental management.

3. Those with four or more years of executiveassignment may be awarded 9 to 12 credithours. Applicants must have hadresponsibility for environmental science orenvironmental management.

Application Process and Policies Studentsare eligible to apply for prior professionalexperience credit up to the completion of 24credit hours, which usually occurs before theclose of their second semester of M.S.E.S.graduate study. Applicants may appeal the initialprofessional credit decision by submitting arequest, in writing, for reconsideration andproviding additional information to theappropriate program or campus director.

Determination of professional credit is madeseparately from decisions about transfer of credit.Under no circumstances will the prior professionalexperience credit and transfer credit total morethan 21 hours of the 48 required for the degree.Students receiving prior professional experiencecredit should carefully plan the balance of theirprogram with a faculty advisor.

Both degrees are awarded when the studentmeets the degree requirements of the MauerSchool of Law and SPEA.

Application andAdmissionThe student must have a bachelor’s degree in aphysical or life science, engineering, or relatedfield. Students interested in the jointM.S.E.S.–J.D. must apply to both the MauerSchool of Law and the School of Public andEnvironmental Affairs. Students normally applyto both schools concurrently for the combinedprogram. It is possible, however, for a personalready enrolled in the Mauer School of Law toapply for admission to the School of Public andEnvironmental Affairs up to the end of thesecond year of law study. A student enrolled inSPEA may seek admission to the Mauer School ofLaw up to the end of the first year of the M.S.E.S.program.

Academic Standing Grade point averages inthe School of Law—Bloomington and SPEA arecomputed separately. To continue in theprogram, the student must meet the academicstandards in each school. A student failing in oneschool but meeting academic standards in theother may complete work for the degree in theschool in which academic standards are beingmet. Such completion must be according to thesame conditions required of regular(noncombination) degree candidates; that is,82 credit hours for law and 48 credit hours forSPEA. Students are eligible for honors in eachschool based on the criteria of each school.

Program Advisors Students enrolled in thecombined program are required to have a SPEAfaculty advisor and are encouraged to seek anadvisor from the faculty of the Mauer School ofLaw. The co-advisors can then review andcounsel with respect to each student’s courseselection for each semester to assure attainmentof educational objectives.

School Residency Students in the jointM.S.E.S.–J.D. program should enroll in coursesthrough SPEA the first year of their programsand through the Mauer School of Law in thesecond year of their programs. Alternatively,joint M.S.E.S.–J.D. students have the option ofenrolling in courses through the Mauer Schoolof Law in the first year and SPEA in the secondyear. In the third and fourth years, or until thejoint program is completed, students shouldenroll through the school in which the majorityof their credit hours resides in each enrollmentperiod.

Master of Arts inArts Administration(M.A.)

Program Goals andObjectivesArts administrators are extraordinary individuals.They must function as managers, fundraisers,planners, educators, conciliators, facilitators,communicators, and most important, as leaders.They must be realists as well as idealists,respectful of the needs of both art and business,and forward-looking yet mindful of the past.

Since 1971 the Indiana University ArtsAdministration Program has been committed tothe development of such leaders. The program,a 16-month, multidisciplinary course of study

leading to an M.A. in Arts Administration, isbroad-based in outlook and curriculum andstrives to achieve a balance of artistic andmanagement concerns, theory and hands-onexperience. Students complete three semestersof course work, on-campus practicums, and asupervised internship off campus. The programseeks to serve students who are at the beginningstages of their careers as well as older studentswishing to change careers.

Though small in size, the City of Bloomingtonprovides an ideal setting for the program. Thecity’s thriving arts community includes morethan 150 arts organizations as well as theinternationally acclaimed Lotus World Music andArts Festival. On the IU Bloomington campus,the School of Music presents more than 1,000concerts and events each year, and a newproduction opens almost every other week onone of the two stages in the Department ofTheatre and Drama. Other cultural organizationson campus include the IU Auditorium, whichoffers touring Broadway productions; the IU ArtMuseum, one of the nation’s finest university artmuseums; the Mathers Museum of WorldCultures; the African American Arts Institute; theArchives of Traditional Music; and the LillyLibrary of rare books and manuscripts.

Administration of theProgramThe program is administered by a full-timedirector and also utilizes an advisory committee,faculty drawn from fine arts, music, theatre anddrama, SPEA, business, anthropology/museumstudies, and the African American Arts Institute.

Degree Requirements(45 credit hours)The program requires 45 credit hours of coursework. A typical two-year course schedule includes15 credit hours the first semester and 12 credithours in the second semester. The third semesterof 12 credit hours includes the capstone seminarcourse. In the summer following the second semester ofcourse work most students complete a sevenweek internship in an arts organization of theirchoice. These students are able to complete theirdegree in December of their second year of study.Some students opt to complete their internship inthe spring following their final fall semester ofcourse work. Recent sites have included CarnegieHall, the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra, theSmithsonian, the Museum of Fine Arts–Houston,the Seattle International Film Festival, theIndianapolis Museum of Art, the Abrons ArtCenter, and the Barrier Island Group for the Arts(BIG ARTS) on Sanibel Island. While there is nothesis requirement, extensive writing projects arepart of the capstone seminar course andinternship experiences.

Doctor of Philosophy(Ph.D.) inEnvironmentalScience This doctoral program is administered by theSchool of Public and Environmental Affairs incooperation with the Departments of Biology,Chemistry, Geography, and Geological Sciences.The Ph.D. in environmental science degree isawarded by the University Graduate School.

The program provides a rigorous, comprehensiveeducation in environmental science. The specificobjectives of the program are: (1) to conductadvanced research and scientific analysis ofenvironmental events, issues, and problems; (2) tofurther understanding of the nature andmanagement of natural and human environments;and (3) to provide an opportunity for students andfaculty members in several departments to engagein collaborative environmental research in aninterdisciplinary mode.

AdmissionA student must apply to the School of Public andEnvironmental Affairs for doctoral studies; thoseaccepted will be recommended to the UniversityGraduate School for formal admission into thePh.D. program. Applicants to this program musthave completed at least a bachelor’s degree inscience, mathematics, engineering, or a relatedfield. Prospective students are required tosubmit: (1) a statement of purpose, whichshould be as specific as possible and, preferably,should refer to potential research mentors byname; (2) official results of the Graduate RecordExaminations (GRE); (3) official transcripts of allundergraduate and graduate course workcompleted; and (4) three letters ofrecommendation. Applicants whose nativelanguage is not English must also submit results

of the Test of English as a Foreign Language(TOEFL).

Degree RequirementsThe degree requires: (1) substantial knowledgein a primary environmental scienceconcentration; (2) breadth in relatedenvironmental science and policy; (3) anunderstanding of research methods; (4) an in-depth knowledge of the dissertation topic; and(5) a dissertation that demonstrates thestudent’s ability to analyze, explain, and interpretresearch clearly and effectively.

Advisory Committee During the firstsemester of enrollment, each student mustorganize an advisory committee. Normally thiscommittee consists of at least four facultymembers: at least two should be from theSchool of Public and Environmental Affairs; theothers may be from other departments or fromoutside the university. Membership of theadvisory committee is approved by the directorof the Doctoral Program in EnvironmentalScience and the dean of the University GraduateSchool. At least three members of the advisorycommittee must be full members of the graduatefaculty.

Fields of Study Each student should define aprincipal field of study, which may beinterdisciplinary. The student should prepare aproposal outlining a program of course workthat the student believes lies within thatprincipal field.

Each student should also prepare a program ofcourse work that fulfills the requirement ofbreadth in environmental science and policy.The breadth requirement may be fulfilled byusing a wide spectrum of environmentallyrelated courses, including areas such aseconomics, law, and management, in addition toother science courses.

Each student should also prepare a statement ofcourses or activities for meeting the researchmethods requirement. Normally these includesubjects such as computer science, geographicinformation systems, remote sensing, statistics,and mathematical modeling, although othertechnical skill areas such as electronics andanalytical chemical techniques may beappropriate for some students.

Narrative Statement Each student mustprepare a narrative statement that includes adiscussion of the student’s previous educationalexperiences, a statement of career objectives, astatement of research interests, and a proposedprogram of course work.

Each student must submit the narrativestatement to the advisory committee forapproval, usually during the first semester in theprogram.

Course Requirements The exact nature andamount of course work in each of the threeareas—principal field of study, breadth inenvironmental science and policy, and researchmethods—is determined by the advisorycommittee after review and approval of thestudent’s proposed plan of study in each of

these areas. Selection of specific courses is basedon obtaining (1) adequate knowledge forqualifying examinations, (2) appropriatepreparation for a research project, and (3) amixture of courses that meets the individualprofessional goals of the student.

The Ph.D. degree requires the completion of atleast 90 credit hours in advanced study andresearch beyond the bachelor’s degree.A student must complete a minimum of 30credit hours of advanced course work inenvironmental science and policy. Students mustalso complete a minimum of 30 credit hours ofresearch, normally taken as SPEA-E 625 or SPEA-E 890. The student, with the approval of theadvisory committee, should complete somecombination of additional course work andresearch sufficient to meet the 90 credit hourrequirement.

Each student is required to enroll in SPEA-E 680Seminar in Environmental Science and Policy(1 credit hour/semester) for four semestersduring their degree program. Students enrolledin SPEA-E 680 may either make a formalpresentation or write a brief synopsis andcritique of four presentations attended eachsemester. Students are encouraged to enroll inSPEA-E 710 Advanced Topics in EnvironmentalScience, which may be taken multiple times asthe topics will vary. Advanced topics and readingcourses may be used to meet requirements,depending upon the topic and the student’s areaof interest.

Students should note that 30 credit hours ofadvanced course work, if properly selected, and6 credit hours of research, may be appliedtoward the Master of Science in EnvironmentalScience (M.S.E.S.) degree. With an additional 12credit hours of approved course work, a studentmay be awarded the M.S.E.S. degree whilecompleting the requirements for the Ph.D. inenvironmental science. Completion of theM.S.E.S. degree as part of this doctoral programis not a requirement; however, this option maybe appropriate for some students.

Qualifying Examinations Before a student isadmitted to candidacy, all requirementsdetermined by the advisory committee must bemet and the qualifying examinations passed. Astudent who fails qualifying examinations mayretake them only once.

The decision to admit a student to doctoralcandidacy is made by the advisory committee,which evaluates the student’s performance inthe written examination, research proposal, andoral examination.

Written Examination This examinationshould be taken by the end of a student’s fifthsemester in the Ph.D. program. The examfocuses on topics covered by the student’scourse work and related to the student’sresearch interests. The examination is writtenand graded by the student’s advisory committee.The written examination is graded as pass,conditional pass, or fail.

Research Proposal No later than the end ofthe fifth semester, the student should submit a

written research proposal for review by theadvisory committee. The proposal should bedocumented, clearly stating a research objective,the approach to be taken, and the significance ofthe work.

Oral Examination Each candidate isexamined orally by the advisory committee. Theoral examination expands upon the writtenexamination and covers the student’s researchproposal.

Research Committee Upon the student’ssuccessful completion of the qualifyingexamination, a research committee is formed.Normally this committee consists of at least fourfaculty members: at least two should be from theSchool of Public and Environmental Affairs; theothers may be from other departments. Thedirector of the Doctoral Program inEnvironmental Science recommends thestudent’s research committee to the dean of theUniversity Graduate School. At least threemembers of the research committee must be fullmembers of the graduate faculty.

Dissertation A dissertation is required and mustbe of sufficient value to warrant publication. Thedissertation must represent a substantial researcheffort, both in quality and quantity. Thedissertation requirement may be met by preparinga traditional dissertation or by preparing aportfolio of research documents includingpublications, manuscripts in press, and completedmanuscripts suitable for submission to a journal.These documents may have multiple authors,although the doctoral candidate must demonstratethat he or she made significant contributions to atleast two of the publications or manuscriptssubmitted for review. The research portfolio musthave introductory and concluding chapters tointegrate across the topics. The research portfolioalso must be prepared to meet the UniversityGraduate School’s requirements for dissertations.A public presentation of the dissertation researchis required. The dissertation must be approved bythe research committee.

Doctor of Philosophy(Ph.D.) in PublicAffairsThe Doctoral Program in Public Affairs wascreated to take advantage of the uniquestrengths of SPEA’s interdisciplinary faculty andresearch programs, both of which have earnedwide recognition from peer institutions, nationaland international agencies, and professionalgroups. The curriculum equips students with thenecessary skills for independent research andanalysis of problems, issues, and solutions ingovernment and the nonprofit sector in fourmajor fields:1. Public Finance: the theory and practice of

fiscal administration, including publicbudgeting, revenue administration, andfinancial management;

2. Public Management: the design andoperation of government institutions,including strategic/operations management

Ph.D. in Environmental Science/Ph.D. in Public Affairs —Bloomington 17

and interrelationships between public andprivate organizations;

3. Public Policy Analysis: research methods andquantitative techniques for policy analysis,including the content, design, and evaluationof public programs; and

4. Environmental Policy: the study of andcontribution to public policies that affect theenvironment, both domestic andinternational, including legal, economic, andother policy tools and approaches.

Instead of being grounded in a traditionalacademic discipline, each of the fields hasdeveloped from several theoretical literaturesapplied to real-world public affairs problems.Although research is grounded in the socialsciences, the context of inquiry reverses thenormal research process. Instead of beginningwith questions originating in discipline-basedscholarship, the research process begins withpublic problems and issues. The researchchallenge, then, is to match available tools ofinquiry to the research opportunities presentedby problems.

AdmissionStudents apply directly to the School of Publicand Environmental Affairs; those accepted arerecommended to the University Graduate Schoolfor formal admission into the Ph.D. program.Application materials can be found atwww.gradapp.indiana.edu/. Applicants to thisprogram must have completed at least abachelor’s degree. Prospective students arerequired to submit (1) a statement of purpose,which should be as specific as possible and,preferably, should refer to potential researchmentors by name; (2) official results of theGraduate Record Examinations (GRE); (3) officialtranscripts of all undergraduate and graduatework completed; and (4) three letters ofrecommendation. Applicants whose nativelanguage is not English must also submit resultsof the Test of English as a Foreign Language(TOEFL).

Degree RequirementsThe Ph.D. in Public Affairs degree requires thecompletion of at least 90 credit hous in advancedstudy and research beyond the baccalaureate.Typically, one-half to two-thirds of the 90 credithours are taken in formal course work and one-third in thesis credit. Students completing aMaster of Public Affairs or similar degree may beallowed to transfer some of their graduatecourse work (30 hours maximum) if approved bytheir Progress Review Committees, though aprior master’s degree is not required foradmission.

Core RequirementsThe following three courses are required for allPublic Affairs students:SPEA-V 680 Research Design and Methods in

Public Affairs (3 cr.)SPEA-V 621 Seminar in Teaching Public and

Environmental Affairs (3 cr.)

This course prepares students for collegeteaching and their professional responsibilities

toward current and future students. It is taken ina student’s first year in the program:SPEA-V 691 Workshop in Public Policy.

Each student is required to take this 1 credithour course for three semesters. The workshopfeatures research presentations by faculty,visiting scholars, and advanced students. Itsintent is to prepare students to critique currentliterature in the field, learn to preparemanuscripts for presentation and publication,and defend their ideas and theories.

Research Tool SkillsRequired research skills include a two-semesterquantitative analysis sequence and two additionalelective courses or proficiency in a foreignlanguage.

The two-semester quantitative analysis sequencecan be fulfilled a number of different ways,including one of the sequences listed below.SPEA-V 606 Statistics for Research in Public

Minor FieldStudents select a minor field according to theirresearch interests. A three- to four-coursesequence is negotiated between the student andthe Progress Review Committee, following therequirements of the department or schooloffering the minor. Among the minor fieldschosen by students currently in the program areEconomics, Finance, Political Science, Sociology,Geography, Economic Development, andEnvironmental Science.

Major JuncturesProgress Review CommitteeEach student is assigned an advisor on arrival inBloomington. If the advisor sufficiently reflects astudent’s research interests, then the studentcan request that the advisor serve as chairpersonof the student’s Progress Review Committee.The student may also select another professorwho is more suited to the student’s researchinterests.

At the end of the first year, the student developsa Progress Review Committee. The committee,in cooperation with the student, definesprogram objectives, supervises the selection andcompletion of the minor field, monitors overallprogress toward completion of course workrequirements, and administers the qualifyingexams. Members of the Progress ReviewCommittee should be scholars who know thestudent’s academic record and who arerecognized experts in the fields in which thestudent will stand examination. The committeewill consist of four to five members chosen bythe student in consultation with the director of

18 Ph.D. in Public Affairs—Bloomington

Ph.D. in Public Affairs/Ph.D. in Public Policy—Bloomington 19

the Ph.D. program. At least one member of theProgress Review Committee will be chosen fromeach of the student’s two major fields. It isrequired that one member of the ProgressReview Committee be a non-School professorand represent the outside minor.

Third Semester ReviewDuring the third semester each student holds athird semester review meeting with the ProgressReview Committee. The purpose of the meetingis to reach an agreement between the studentand the committee about the character andstatus of the student’s program. This meetingalso serves as a formal evaluation of thestudent’s performance and prospects andincludes a presentation of a research paperprepared by the student.

In this progress review meeting, the committeemembers review the student’s record of past andplanned courses, the likely dissertation topic,and the quality of the research paper and itspresentation. The committee determineswhether the proposed program of courses willprepare the student for the examinations to betaken at the end of the course work as well asfor the dissertation.

The principal objective of the research paper isto allow the faculty to judge whether the studenthas the ability to complete all requirements forthis research-oriented degree in a timely fashion.Thus, of most importance will be that the paperdemonstrates the student’s ability to carry outreasonably independent research and write theresults in a well-reasoned and coherent fashion.The paper should also demonstrate that thestudent has a good command of the literature inthe area and has the ability to use appropriateresearch methods in carrying out the analysis. Itis anticipated that the progress review paper willbe a revision of a substantial research paperprepared to fulfill a requirement for a regularcourse. (The student can, however, submit anentirely new paper to fulfill this requirement.) Itshould be of a quality warranting presentation ata professional society meeting.

Qualifying ExaminationsAfter completion of course work, students take awritten exam in each of their two major fields.The examination committee may also require anoral examination at its discretion. If there is anexam requirement in the minor department,then the student must also complete a thirdexam. Once the examinations are successfullycompleted, the student is formally admitted tocandidacy.

DissertationAfter filing for candidacy status, the doctoralcandidate forms a Research Committeeconsisting of at least four faculty members,including one representative of the candidate’sminor field. This committee may be but is notnecessarily identical to the Progress ReviewCommittee. The selection of ResearchCommittee members should reflect thedissertation topic and expertise of the facultychosen.

The candidate prepares a dissertation proposalto present and defend in a meeting of theResearch Committee. The Research Committeeis ultimately responsible for determiningwhether the dissertation is acceptable.

PlacementThe Ph.D. Office, the director of the program,and individual faculty members work hard toensure that graduates of the program are placedin academic or research organizations. Althoughthe Public Affairs program has been operationalonly since 1993, graduates have been verysuccessful recently in obtaining such positions.Recent placements include North Carolina StateUniversity, The Ohio State University, Universityof Colorado, Syracuse University, Brigham YoungUniversity, Iowa State University, the U.S.Department of Labor, National Taipei University,and Yonsei University in South Korea.

Doctor of Philosophy(Ph.D.) in PublicPolicyThe Joint Ph.D. Program in Public Policy is acollaborative endeavor of the School of Publicand Environmental Affairs and the Departmentof Political Science.

Its emphasis is on the broad field of publicpolicy, concerning the environment of publicpolicy; the processes of policy formation,management, and implementation; and theanalysis and evaluation of policy outputs andresults. The institutional setting and design ofthe program offer a unique educationalopportunity. Students in the program receiverigorous social science training and gainknowledge of government decision-makingprocesses, problem-solving capabilities, and anunderstanding of the substantive aspects ofpublic problems and their effects on publicinstitutions.

AdmissionAll applicants to the public policy program aresubject to approval by a SPEA–Department ofPolitical Science joint admissions committee.Application materials can be found atwww.gradapp.indiana.edu/. Applicants foradmission and for financial assistance arerequired to submit a statement of career goals,official results of the Graduate RecordExamination (GRE), official transcripts of allundergraduate and graduate work, and aminimum of three letters of recommendation.Students whose native language is not Englishalso must submit results of the Test of English asa Foreign Language (TOEFL). The Joint ProgramCommittee on Admissions and Financial Aidexamines each application closely to determinesuitability for the program. The committee looksbeyond the formal academic record, at theapplicant’s demonstrated ability to pursueindependent study, language and research skilltraining, and maturity and experience.

Degree RequirementsThe University Graduate School requiresdoctoral students to complete 90 credit hours ofgraduate credit. Typically, two-thirds of the 90credit hours are taken in formal course work andone-third in thesis credit. Students holding aMaster of Public Affairs or similar degree may beallowed to transfer some of their graduatecourse work (30 credit hours maximum) ifapproved by their Progress Review Committee.

To qualify as language proficient, astudent must take a language proficiency examfrom the appropriate language department atIndiana University.

Fields of ConcentrationThe School of Public and Environmental Affairsand the Department of Political Science shareequally in delivering public policy as the majorfield of preparation and specialization. Studentsin the Public Policy Program select twoconcentration areas—one from SPEA and onefrom Political Science—in addition to therequired concentration in public policy.

These fields of concentration include thefollowing:

SPEA Political ScienceEnvironmental Policy American PoliticsPublic Management Comparative PoliticsPublic Finance International RelationsPolicy Analysis Political Philosophy

Political Theory and Methodology

Course offerings in SPEA and Political Sciencehelp the student prepare for examinations inthese fields, and students supplement theircourse work with directed readings andresearch. There is no predetermined set ofcourses required of all students. Courseselection is the responsibility of the student,working in conjunction with his or her ProgressReview Committee.

Major JuncturesProgress Review CommitteeThe Progress Review Committee consists of fromfour to six faculty members. Two SPEA facultymust be selected for the SPEA concentration andtwo Political Science faculty for the PoliticalScience concentration. For the shared publicpolicy concentration, there must be one SPEAand one Political Science faculty member. Onefaculty member is chosen by the student to actas the chair of the committee. The chairpersonserves as the student’s mentor and guides thestudent through the Progress Review andqualifying examination process.

Before the meeting of the Progress ReviewCommittee, the student develops a ProgressReview Statement. The statement needs toinclude background professional and educationalinformation, course work completed andplanned in each concentration and for basic andadvanced tool skills, tentative dates for takingqualifying exams, and a discussion of a proposeddissertation topic. Once approved by thecommittee, the statement serves as a contract forthe completion of degree requirements.

Qualifying ExaminationsAfter completing the course work for aconcentration, the student is eligible to take thequalifying examination for that concentration. All

students except those in the Political Scienceconcentration negotiate their own examinationschedules. The Department of Political Sciencegives field examinations twice a year at timesscheduled by the department. The examinationson policy and SPEA concentrations are written bythe members of the Progress Review Committeerepresenting those areas.

After receiving a pass or qualified pass on each ofthe three exams, the student schedules the oralexamination. Upon completion of the oralexamination, signatures of the committeemember and program director are required onthe “Report of Preliminary ExaminationCommittee” form.

DissertationAfter filing for candidacy status, the doctoralcandidate forms a Research Committeeconsisting of at least four faculty members. Twoof the members must be School of Public andEnvironmental Affairs faculty, and two must befrom Political Science. This committee may bebut is not necessarily identical to the ProgressReview Committee. The selection of theResearch Committee members should reflect thedissertation topic and expertise of the facultychosen.

The candidate prepares a dissertation proposalto present and defend in a meeting of theResearch Committee. The Research Committeereviews the research proposal and requireschanges as needed.

Once the dissertation research is completed, thecandidate defends the thesis in an open oralexamination meeting. The Research Committeeis ultimately responsible for determiningwhether the dissertation is acceptable.

PlacementThe Ph.D. Office, the director of the program,and individual faculty members work hard toensure that graduates of the program are placedin academic or research organizations. Graduatesof the Joint Program in Public Policy have beenvery successful in obtaining such positions.Recent placements include George WashingtonUniversity, Emory University, Florida StateUniversity, University of North Carolina, TheOhio State University, University of Arizona,Georgia Institute of Technology, Ulsan University(Korea), the University of Massachusetts, the U.S.Agency for International Development, andUniversity of Washington.
