Students are encouraged to discuss withfaculty members the relative merits of their experiencesaccording to individual career objectives.

Master of Public Affairs–Doctor of JurisprudenceThe combined Master of Public Affairs–Doctor ofJurisprudence program enables the student to take a four-year sequence of courses leading to both degrees.

Application and AdmissionThe applicant must have a bachelor’s degree from anaccredited institution of higher education and must applyseparately to both the Mauer School of Law and theSchool of Public and Environmental Affairs.

If the applicant is admitted to only one school, theapplicant is permitted to attend that school and is, ofcourse, required to meet the graduation requirements ofthat school. It is recommended that the student apply toboth schools simultaneously for the combined M.P.A.–J.D. program. It is possible, however, for a person alreadyenrolled in the Mauer School of Law to apply for admissionto the School of Public and Environmental Affairs upto the end of the second year of law study. It is alsopossible for a student enrolled in the School of Public andEnvironmental Affairs to seek admission to the Mauer

School of Law up to the end of the first year of the M.P.A.course of study.

Academic Standing

Grade point averages in the Mauer School of Law and theSchool of Public and Environmental Affairs are computedseparately. To continue in the program, the student mustmeet the academic standards in each school. A studentfailing in one school but meeting academic standardsin the other may complete work for the degree in theschool in which the student is able to meet the academicstandards. Such completion must be according to thesame conditions (credit hours, residency, etc.) required ofregular (noncombination) degree candidates; that is, 82credit hours in law and 48 credit hours in SPEA. Studentsare eligible for honors in each school based on the criteriaof each school.

School Residency

Students in the dual M.P.A.–J.D. program should enroll incourses through the School of Public and EnvironmentalAffairs in the first year of the program and through theMauer School of Law in the second year of the program.Alternatively, dual M.P.A.–J.D. students do have theoption of enrolling in courses through the School of Law—Bloomington in the first year and in SPEA in the secondyear. In the third and fourth years, or until the programis completed, students should enroll through the schoolin which the majority of their credit hours reside in eachenrollment period.

Program Requirements(115 credit hours)

Master of Public Affairs Requirements

Degree ProgramsIn addition to dual degree programs with the IndianaUniversity School of Law–Bloomington, the School ofPublic and Environmental Affairs collaborates with centerson area studies, other Indiana University Bloomingtondepartments, and professional schools to deliver dualdegree programs. SPEA’s combined master’s degreeprograms address the demand for specialists withexpertise in policy, management, and science andthe expertise and skill offered by the partner program.Candidates for the combined degree programs, excludingthe program with the Mauer School of Law, completethe core requirements for the M.P.A. degree, additionalcourse credits in a specialized concentration for a total of36 credit hours in the School of Public and EnvironmentalAffairs, plus the required courses of the participating dualprogram. In every case students must apply separatelyto and be accepted into both programs to participate in adual degree program.

Dual degree students (other than the M.P.A.–J.D.) mustcomplete:

Other Dual M.S.E.S. Degree Programs

Master of Science in Environmental Science–Doctor ofJurisprudenceThe combined Master of Science in EnvironmentalScience–Doctor of Jurisprudence program is a four-year,115-credit-hour sequence of courses and research thatprovides depth and breadth in both environmental scienceand law. Both degrees are awarded when the studentmeets the degree requirements of the Mauer School ofLaw and SPEA.

Application and Admission The student must havea bachelor’s degree in a physical or life science,engineering, or related field. Students interested in thedual M.S.E.S.–J.D. must apply to both the Mauer Schoolof Law and the School of Public and EnvironmentalAffairs. Students normally apply to both schoolsconcurrently for the combined program. It is possible,however, for a person already enrolled in the MauerSchool of Law to apply for admission to the School ofPublic and Environmental Affairs up to the end of thesecond year of law study. A student enrolled in SPEA mayseek admission to the Mauer School of Law up to the endof the first year of the M.S.E.S. program

Academic Standing Grade point averages in the Schoolof Law—Bloomington and SPEA are computed separately.To continue in the program, the student must meet theacademic standards in each school. A student failing inone school but meeting academic standards in the othermay complete work for the degree in the school in whichacademic standards are being met. Such completion mustbe according to the same conditions required of regular(noncombination) degree candidates; that is, 82 credithours for law and 48 credit hours for SPEA. Students areeligible for honors in each school based on the criteria ofeach school.

Program Advisors Students enrolled in the combinedprogram are required to have a SPEA faculty advisorand are encouraged to seek an advisor from the facultyof the Mauer School of Law. The co-advisors can thenreview and counsel with respect to each student’s courseselection for each semester to assure attainment ofeducational objectives.

School Residency Students in the dual M.S.E.S.–J.D.program should enroll in courses through SPEA the firstyear of their programs and through the Mauer School ofLaw in the second year of their programs. Alternatively,dual M.S.E.S.–J.D. students have the option of enrollingin courses through the Mauer School of Law in the firstyear and SPEA in the second year. In the third and fourthyears, or until the dual program is completed, studentsshould enroll through the school in which the majority oftheir credit hours resides in each enrollment period.

Master of Arts in ArtsAdministrationProgram Goals and ObjectivesArts administrators are extraordinary individuals. Theymust function as managers, fundraisers, planners,educators, conciliators, facilitators, communicators, andmost important, as leaders. They must be realists aswell as idealists, respectful of the needs of both art andbusiness, and forward-looking yet mindful of the past.

Since 1971 the Indiana University Arts AdministrationProgram has been committed to the development ofsuch leaders. The program, a 16-month, multidisciplinarycourse of study leading to an M.A. in Arts Administration,is broad-based in outlook and curriculum and strives toachieve a balance of artistic and management concerns,theory and hands-on experience. Students complete threesemesters of course work, on-campus practicums, anda supervised internship off campus. The program seeksto serve students who are at the beginning stages oftheir careers as well as older students wishing to changecareers.

Though small in size, the City of Bloomington providesan ideal setting for the program. The city’s thriving artscommunity includes more than 150 arts organizationsas well as the internationally acclaimed Lotus WorldMusic and Arts Festival. On the IU Bloomington campus,the School of Music presents more than 1,000 concerts

The Ph.D. in environmental sciencedegree is awarded by the University Graduate School.

The program provides a rigorous, comprehensiveeducation in environmental science. The specificobjectives of the program are:

• to conduct advanced research and scientific analysisof environmental events, issues, and problems

• to further understanding of the nature andmanagement of natural and human environments

• to provide an opportunity for students and facultymembers 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; those acceptedwill be recommended to the University Graduate Schoolfor formal admission into the Ph.D. program. Applicants tothis program must have completed at least a bachelor’sdegree in science, mathematics, engineering, or a relatedfield. Prospective students are required to submit:

• a statement of purpose, which should be as specificas possible and, preferably, should refer to potentialresearch mentors by name

• official results of the Graduate Record Examinations(GRE)

• official transcripts of all undergraduate and graduatecourse work completed

May 23, 2013 27

• three letters of recommendation. Applicants whosenative language is not English must also submitresults of the Test of English as a Foreign Language(TOEFL)

Degree RequirementsThe degree requires:

• substantial knowledge in a primary environmentalscience concentration

• breadth in related environmental science and policy• an understanding of research methods• an in-depth knowledge of the dissertation topic• a dissertation that demonstrates the student’s ability

to analyze, explain, and interpret research clearlyand effectively

Advisory CommitteeDuring the first semester of enrollment, each student mustorganize an advisory committee. Normally this committeeconsists of at least four faculty members: at least twoshould be from the School of Public and EnvironmentalAffairs; the others may be from other departments orfrom outside the university. Membership of the advisorycommittee is approved by the director of the DoctoralProgram in Environmental Science and the dean of theUniversity Graduate School. At least three members of theadvisory committee must be full members of the graduatefaculty.

Fields of StudyEach student should define a principal field of study, whichmay be interdisciplinary. The student should preparea proposal outlining a program of course work that thestudent believes lies within that principal field.Each student should also prepare a program ofcourse work that fulfills the requirement of breadthin environmental science and policy. The breadthrequirement may be fulfilled by using a wide spectrum ofenvironmentally related courses, including areas such aseconomics, law, and management, in addition to otherscience courses.Each student should also prepare a statement ofcourses or activities for meeting the research methodsrequirement. Normally these include subjects such ascomputer science, geographic information systems,remote sensing, statistics, and mathematical modeling,although other technical skill areas such as electronicsand analytical chemical techniques may be appropriate forsome students.

Narrative StatementEach student must prepare a narrative statement thatincludes a discussion of the student’s previous educationalexperiences, a statement of career objectives, a statementof research interests, and a proposed program of coursework.Each student must submit the narrative statement to theadvisory committee for approval, usually during the firstsemester in the program.

Course RequirementsThe exact nature and amount of course work in eachof the three areas—principal field of study, breadth inenvironmental science and policy, and research methods—is determined by the advisory committee after reviewand approval of the student’s proposed plan of study in

each of these areas. Selection of specific courses is basedon obtaining

• adequate knowledge for qualifying examinations• appropriate preparation for a research project• a mixture of courses that meets the individual

professional goals of the student

The Ph.D. degree requires the completion of at least 90credit hours in advanced study and research beyond thebachelor’s degree. A student must complete a minimum of30 credit hours of advanced course work in environmentalscience and policy. Students must also complete aminimum of 30 credit hours of research, normally takenas SPEA-E 625 or SPEAE 890. The student, with theapproval of the advisory committee, should completesome combination of additional course work and researchsufficient to meet the 90 credit hour requirement.

Students are required to enroll in SPEA-E 680 Seminarin Environmental Science and Policy (1 credit hour/semester) for four semesters during their degree program.Students must give at least one seminar presentationin SPEA-E 680 as part of their Ph.D. in EnvironmentalScience requirement. Students enrolled in SPEA-E 680may either make a formal presentation or write a briefsynopsis and critique of four presentations attendedeach semester. Students are encouraged to enroll inSPEA-E 710 Advanced Topics in Environmental Science,which may be taken multiple times as the topics will vary.Advanced topics and reading courses may be used tomeet requirements, depending upon the topic and thestudent’s area of interest.

Students should note that 30 credit hours of advancedcourse work, if properly selected, and 6 credit hoursof research, may be applied toward the Master ofScience in Environmental Science (M.S.E.S.) degree.With an additional 12 credit hours of approved coursework, a student may be awarded the M.S.E.S. degreewhile completing the requirements for the Ph.D. inenvironmental science. Completion of the M.S.E.S. degreeas part of this doctoral program is not a requirement;however, this option may be appropriate for somestudents.

Qualifying ExaminationsBefore a student is admitted to candidacy, allrequirements determined by the advisory committee mustbe met and the qualifying examinations passed. A studentwho fails qualifying examinations may retake them onlyonce.The decision to admit a student to doctoral candidacy ismade by the advisory committee, which evaluates thestudent’s performance in the written examination, researchproposal, and oral examination.

Written Examination

This examination should be taken by the end of astudent’s fifth semester in the Ph.D. program. The examfocuses on topics covered by the student’s coursework and related to the student’s research interests.The examination is written and graded by the student’sadvisory committee. The written examination is graded aspass, conditional pass, or fail.

Research Proposal

28 May 23, 2013

No later than the end of the fifth semester, the studentshould submit a written research proposal for reviewby the advisory committee. The proposal should bedocumented, clearly stating a research objective, theapproach to be taken, and the significance of the work.

Oral Examination

Each candidate is examined orally by the advisorycommittee. The oral examination expands upon the writtenexamination and covers the student’s research proposal.

Research CommitteeUpon the student’s successful completion of the qualifyingexamination, a research committee is formed. Normallythis committee consists of at least four faculty members:at least two should be from the School of Public andEnvironmental Affairs; the others may be from otherdepartments. The director of the Doctoral Programin Environmental Science recommends the student’sresearch committee to the dean of the University GraduateSchool. At least three members of the research committeemust be full members of the graduate faculty.

DissertationA dissertation is required and must be of sufficient valueto warrant publication. The dissertation must represent asubstantial research effort, both in quality and quantity.The dissertation requirement may be met by preparinga traditional dissertation or by preparing a portfolio ofresearch documents including publications, manuscripts inpress, and completed manuscripts suitable for submissionto a journal. These documents may have multiple authors,although the doctoral candidate must demonstrate thathe or she made significant contributions to at least two ofthe publications or manuscripts submitted for review. Theresearch portfolio must have introductory and concludingchapters to integrate across the topics. The researchportfolio also must be prepared to meet the UniversityGraduate School’s requirements for dissertations. A publicpresentation of the dissertation research is required. Thedissertation must be approved by the research committee.

Doctor of Philosophy in PublicAffairsThe Doctoral Program in Public Affairs was createdto take advantage of the unique strengths of SPEA’sinterdisciplinary faculty and research programs, bothof which have earned wide recognition from peerinstitutions, national and international agencies, andprofessional groups. The curriculum equips students withthe necessary skills for independent research and analysisof problems, issues, and solutions in government and thenonprofit sector in four major fields:

• Public Finance: the theory and practice of fiscaladministration, including public budgeting, revenueadministration, and financial management

• Public Management: the design and operationof government institutions, including strategic/operations management and interrelationshipsbetween public and private organizations;

• Public Policy Analysis: research methods andquantitative techniques for policy analysis, includingthe content, design, and evaluation of publicprograms; and

• Environmental Policy: the study of and contributionto public policies that affect the environment,both domestic and international, including legal,economic, and other policy tools and approaches.

Instead of being grounded in a traditional academicdiscipline, each of the fields has developed from severaltheoretical literatures applied to real-world public affairsproblems. Although research is grounded in the socialsciences, the context of inquiry reverses the normalresearch process. Instead of beginning with questionsoriginating in discipline-based scholarship, the researchprocess begins with public problems and issues. Theresearch challenge, then, is to match available toolsof inquiry to the research opportunities presented byproblems.

AdmissionStudents apply directly to the School of Public andEnvironmental Affairs; those accepted are recommendedto the University Graduate School for formal admissioninto the Ph.D. program.Application materials can be found atwww.gradapp.indiana.edu/. Applicants to this programmust have completed at least a bachelor’s degree.Prospective students are required to submit (1) astatement of purpose, which should be as specific aspossible and, preferably, should refer to potential researchmentors by name; (2) official results of the GraduateRecord Examinations (GRE); (3) official transcripts of allundergraduate and graduate work completed; and (4)three letters of recommendation. Applicants whose nativelanguage is not English must also submit results of theTest of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL).

Degree RequirementsThe Ph.D. in Public Affairs degree requires the completionof at least 90 credit hous in advanced study and researchbeyond the baccalaureate. Typically, two-thirds of the 90credit hours are taken in formal course work and one-third in thesis credit. Students completing a Master ofPublic Affairs or similar degree may be allowed to transfersome of their graduate course work (30 hours maximum) ifapproved by their Progress Review Committees, though aprior master’s degree is not required for admission.

• Core Requirements• Research Tool Skills• Major Fields• Minor Field

Major JuncturesProgress Review CommitteeEach student is assigned an advisor on arrival inBloomington. If the advisor sufficiently reflects a student’sresearch interests, then the student can request that theadvisor serve as chairperson of the student’s ProgressReview Committee. The student may also select anotherprofessor who is more suited to the student’s researchinterests.At the end of the first year, the student developsa Progress Review Committee. The committee, incooperation with the student, defines program objectives,supervises the selection and completion of the minorfield, monitors overall progress toward completion ofcourse work requirements, and assists in preparing forthe qualifying exams. Members of the Progress Review

May 23, 2013 29

Committee should be scholars who know the student’sacademic record and who are recognized experts in thefields in which the student will stand examination. Thecommittee will consist of four to five members chosen bythe student in consultation with the director of Ph.D. inPublic Affairs/Ph.D. in Public Policy—Bloomington thePh.D. program. At least one member of the ProgressReview Committee will be chosen from each of thestudent’s two major fields. It is required that one memberof the Progress Review Committee be a non-Schoolprofessor and represent the outside minor.

Third Semester ReviewDuring the third semester each student holds a thirdsemester review meeting with the Progress ReviewCommittee. The purpose of the meeting is to reach anagreement between the student and the committeeabout the character and status of the student’s program.This meeting also serves as a formal evaluation of thestudent’s performance and prospects and includes apresentation of a research paper prepared by the student.In this progress review meeting, the committee membersreview the student’s record of past and planned courses,the likely dissertation topic, and the quality of the researchpaper and its presentation. The committee determineswhether the proposed program of courses will prepare thestudent for the examinations to be taken at the end of thecourse work as well as for the dissertation.The principal objective of the research paper is to allowthe faculty to judge whether the student has the abilityto complete all requirements for this research-orienteddegree in a timely fashion. Thus, of most importance willbe that the paper demonstrates the student’s ability tocarry out reasonably independent research and writethe results in a well-reasoned and coherent fashion. Thepaper should also demonstrate that the student has agood command of the literature in the area and has theability to use appropriate research methods in carryingout the analysis. It is anticipated that the progress reviewpaper will be a revision of a substantial research paperprepared to fulfill a requirement for a regular course. (Thestudent can, however, submit an entirely new paper tofulfill this requirement.) The paper should be of a qualitywarranting presentation at a professional society meeting.

Qualifying ExaminationsAfter completion of course work, students take awritten exam in each of their two major fields. TheExamination Committee for each field may also requirean oral examination at its discretion. If there is an examrequirement in the minor department, then the studentmust also complete a third exam. Once the examinationsare successfully completed, the student is formallyadmitted to candidacy.

DissertationAfter filing for candidacy status, the doctoral candidateforms a Research Committee consisting of at least fourfaculty members, including one representative of thecandidate’s minor field. This committee may be but is notnecessarily identical to the Progress Review Committee.The selection of Research Committee members shouldreflect the dissertation topic and expertise of the facultychosen.The candidate prepares a dissertation proposal to presentand defend in a meeting of the Research Committee.

The Research Committee is ultimately responsible fordetermining whether the dissertation is acceptable.

PlacementThe Ph.D. Office, the director of the program, andindividual faculty members work hard to ensure thatgraduates of the program are placed in academic orresearch organizations. Although the Public Affairsprogram has been operational only since 1993, graduateshave been very successful recently in obtaining suchpositions.

Doctor of Philosophy in PublicPolicyThe Joint Ph.D. Program in Public Policy is a collaborativeendeavor of the School of Public and EnvironmentalAffairs and the Department of Political Science.

Its emphasis is on the broad field of public policy,concerning the environment of public policy; the processesof policy formation, management, and implementation;and the analysis and evaluation of policy outputs andresults. The institutional setting and design of the programoffer a unique educational opportunity. Students in theprogram receive rigorous social science training and gainknowledge of government decision-making processes,problem-solving capabilities, and an understanding of thesubstantive aspects of public problems and their effects onpublic institutions.

AdmissionAll applicants to the public policy program are subjectto approval by a SPEA–Department of Political Sciencejoint admissions committee. Application materials canbe found at www.gradapp.indiana.edu/. Applicants foradmission and for financial assistance are requiredto submit a statement of career goals, official resultsof the Graduate Record Examination (GRE), officialtranscripts of all undergraduate and graduate work, anda minimum of three letters of recommendation. Studentswhose native language is not English also must submitresults of the Test of English as a Foreign Language(TOEFL). The Joint Program Committee on Admissionsand Financial Aid examines each application closely todetermine suitability for the program. The committee looksbeyond the formal academic record, at the applicant’sdemonstrated ability to pursue independent study,language and research skill training, and maturity andexperience.

Degree RequirementsThe University Graduate School requires doctoral studentsto complete 90 credit hours of graduate credit. Typically,two-thirds of the 90 credit hours are taken in formal coursework and one-third in thesis credit. Students holding aMaster of Public Affairs or similar degree may be allowedto transfer some of their graduate course work (30 credithours maximum) if approved by their Progress ReviewCommittee.

• Core Requirements• Research Tool Skills• Fields of Concentration

Major JuncturesProgress Review CommitteeThe Progress Review Committee consists of from four tosix faculty members. Two SPEA faculty must be selectedfor the SPEA concentration and two Political Sciencefaculty for the Political Science concentration. For theshared public policy concentration, there must be oneSPEA and one Political Science faculty member. Onefaculty member is chosen by the student to act as thechair of the committee. The chairperson serves as thestudent’s mentor and guides the student through theProgress Review and qualifying examination process.

Before the meeting of the Progress Review Committee,the student develops a Progress Review Statement. The

statement needs to include background professionaland educational information, course work completed andplanned in each concentration and for basic and advancedtool skills, tentative dates for taking qualifying exams,and a discussion of a proposed dissertation topic. Onceapproved by the committee, the statement serves as acontract for the completion of degree requirements.

Qualifying ExaminationsAfter completing the course work for a field ofconcentration, the student is eligible to take the qualifyingexamination for that concentration. The examinations infields of concentration offered by the Political ScienceDepartment and SPEA are prepared by facutly in thosefields and offered at times scheduled by the PoliticalScience Department and SPEA. The examination inthe field of Public Policy is written jointly by faculty in thePolitical Science Department and SPEA, and students cannegotiate the timing of that examination.

After receiving a pass or qualified pass on each of thethree exams, the student schedules the oral examination.Upon completion of the oral examination, signatures of thecommittee member and program director are required onthe “Report of Preliminary Examination Committee” form.

DissertationAfter filing for candidacy status, the doctoral candidateforms a Research Committee consisting of at least fourfaculty members. Two of the members must be School ofPublic and Environmental Affairs faculty, and two must befrom Political Science. This committee may be but is notnecessarily identical to the Progress Review Committee.The selection of the Research Committee membersshould reflect the dissertation topic and expertise of thefaculty chosen.

The candidate prepares a dissertation proposal to presentand defend in a meeting of the Research Committee. TheResearch Committee reviews the research proposal andrequires changes as needed.

Once the dissertation research is completed, thecandidate defends the thesis in an open oral examinationmeeting. The Research Committee is ultimatelyresponsible for determining whether the dissertation isacceptable.

PlacementThe Ph.D. Office, the director of the program, andindividual faculty members work hard to ensure thatgraduates of the program are placed in academic orresearch organizations. Graduates of the Joint Program inPublic Policy have been very successful in obtaining suchpositions. Recent placements include George WashingtonUniversity, Emory University, Florida State University,University of North Carolina, The Ohio 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.
