Public Administration
Welcome to the Department of Public Administration at the University of Texas in San Antonio.
Our mission is to demonstrate in our teaching, research, and service and nurture in our students commitment to public service, civic trust, and responsible citizenship.
MPA Program Now NASPAA Accredited
The Department of Public Administration's Master of Public Administration (MPA) program was recently accredited for a period of seven years (through the 2012-2013 academic year) by the National Association of Schools of Public Affairs and Administration (NASPAA).
As stated on NASPAA's website, "Accreditation is a sign that a program has met a set of standards regarding curriculum, administration, program mission, student admissions, faculty quality, student services and placement, and facilities. It means the program has gone through a rigorous process of self study, an accreditation commission review, and an extensive on-site campus visit by a team of experts. In brief, accreditation is one of many signs of quality that a student can use when considering graduate programs."
For more detailed information on the MPA program please refer to the MPA Student Handbook.
Program Location
The Department of Public Administration is located on the 4th floor of the Durango Building (DB 4.114) at the Downtown Campus.
