This courses focuses on preparing students of Public Administration and Applied Policy to understand and discuss the practical and theoretical elements that comprise the complex and changing circumstances of public service in government and non-profit organizations. Through our curriculum, we seek to place our program and students at the cutting edge of theory development. We acknowledge the ancient Greek concept of praxis, which emphasizes the need for our students to understand both the theoretical and practical realities of their professions. Further, we aim to be at the forefront of developing new ways for organizing and making informed judgments for the betterment of persons, organizations and society.
