The National Association of Schools of Public Affairs and Administration (NASPAA) offers International Associate Membership to academic programs in public and private institutions outside the United States of America that are related to public administration, public policy, nonprofit management, or related fields and that subscribe to the purpose of NASPAA (and to associations of such programs).
