Public Service Clinics link the skills and services of second year Master of Public Administration (MPA) students with the real-world needs of nonprofit and public agencies. For more than a decade, our students have produced program evaluations, strategic plans, policy analyses, and new program designs. Agencies are invited to submit topic proposals for the 2012-2013 school year beginning in August 2012. The deadline for submitting a proposal will be announced as we move closer to the 2012-2013 school year.
How It Works
During their last year of study, MPA students are required to complete a Degree Project, which demonstrates their mastery of analytic and organizational skills. By participating in the Public Service Clinics, students are able to choose from a variety of research topics proposed by local agencies, nonprofits, or students themselves. The projects take two academic quarters to complete and are led by experienced faculty.
