NASPAA-accredited
Master of Public Administration and Master of Public Policy
programs across the nation are embarking on a three-year
enterprise to develop and deliver a new set of quality measures
and assessment processes to be used in MPA/MPP program
accreditation.
As the needs of the public sector change, NASPAA must undertake an
earnest discussion of how to best educate and develop public
affairs leaders, ensuring that graduates of accredited programs
obtain the relevant and competitive skills and competencies they
need to excel in public service professions.
This venture begins by exploring the needs of employers, students
and the public sector, and will result in a new set of NASPAA
accreditation standards to be presented for a vote at the 2009
NASPAA Fall Conference.
