PhD in Public Administration

The PhD in Public Policy and Administration is a doctoral program within the College of Public Service. The program page directs students to the graduate catalog, the doctoral handbook, preliminary exam dates, a course rotation worksheet and a program of study form for planning. Elective choices are supported with a flowchart and a list of advanced electives by the semester they are typically offered. Admitted students are guided on registering for dissertation research credits once they reach candidacy. Out-of-state students can learn about the university's eRate for fully online study, which is lower than standard out-of-state tuition. Separate contacts are named for prospective students, admitted students taking courses, and doctoral candidates who have finished coursework. Prospective students are encouraged to read the handbook and catalog sections before applying through the online application.
