The Maxwell School's doctoral program in Public Administration caters to full-time residential students pursuing academic careers in research and teaching. Every element of the program emphasizes delivering exceptional research and teaching opportunities. The curriculum ensures all students:
Develop strong proficiency in core subjects and methodologies essential for earning a Ph.D. in Public Administration.
Acquire a solid grasp of public administration's extensive intellectual heritage.
Engage in active research starting from their first year in the program.
Each doctoral candidate in Public Administration works with a faculty advisor to complete their research apprenticeship. This research typically occurs within one of Maxwell's specialized research centers or institutes, depending on the student's focus area.
Key topics include: Designing, managing, and assessing human resource initiatives for vulnerable groups in health, aging, education, and welfare sectors; equity in resource distribution and equal access opportunities; social, economic, and health challenges affecting elderly populations; family dynamics and public policy; impacts of demographic aging in industrialized nations; poverty assessment and reduction strategies; addressing material hardship and discrimination in the U.S.; and policies concerning healthcare systems and reform.
