Competency Tests in Computer Technology and in Statistics
Early in their programs, students must pass examinations offered by the School of Public
Affairs to demonstrate competence in the use of selected computer technology and in statistics.
Satisfactory performance in these examinations may be prerequisites ro some
courses.
Final Project/Organizational Analysis (6 credits)
Two requirements must be completed prior to the student beginning work on his/her findl
project:
The final written project has three primary purposes. First, it affords students an opportunity
to demonstrate to the faculty's satisfaction their ability to apply the theoretical, substantive,
practical, and methodological knowledge, skills, and values acquired during their
coursework in the D.P.A. program. Second, the project affords students an opportunity to
apply what they have learned to a topic that not only has personal and professional meaning
to them, but also advances the quality of the practice of public administration in policy
or program areas in their organizations. Third, the project affords students an
opportunity to step back from their everyday experience, place that experience within the
larger context of public administration practice and theory, and leaven the quality of public
administration practice, knowledge, and theory more generally.
A successfully completed final project, thus, has three components: it deals with a topic
of interest to the student; it explicitly addresses and is related to core problems and enduring
questions of public administration broadly defined; and it studies the topic in methodologically
rigorous ways. Topics meeting these criteria may come from, but are not limited
