Overview
Mission Statement: The Master of Public Affairs (MPAff) program prepares leaders with the knowledge and skills to address critical public policy challenges in city, state, and federal government, private businesses, and nonprofit organizations. Drawing upon world-renowned multidisciplinary faculty, a global network of alumni, and the resources of The University of Texas, our graduates are uniquely qualified to shape 21st century public policy.
...
The Master of Public Affairs (MPAFFMPAff) degree is the oldest and largest degree offered by the LBJ School. It was one of the first graduate degree programs to blend academic theory with practical experience. The founding principles of the School emphasize practical and interdisciplinary training of students. The School consciously chose the title of public affairs to address a broader audience of public servants, including those in elected office, special interest organizations, and government agencies.
...
Through coursework, workshops, internships, and guest lectures, students will learn professional skills and concepts that will prepare them for a successful career. These include:
Leadership and ethics
Facility at working with diverse populations
Communication – writing, public speaking and presenting materials effectively
Negotiation skills
Decision making with varying levels of evidence
Research design and analytical approaches (quantitative and qualitative)
Problem solving
Managing people/human resources
Innovations in new analytic and management technologies
Performance measures and contracting
Project management
Budgeting/financial management/contracting
Teamwork and collaboration
Foundations of policymaking and history of public policy
