Access Publicases Today!
Publicases is an online Platform connecting students and faculty in public affairs schools around the world with case studies, data, and simulations. Faculty at all NASPAA member schools have free access to the case collection. For questions on how to get access contact publicases@naspaa.org.
NASPAA is uniquely positioned to expand the development and use of case studies, simulations, and other experiential learning materials in public affairs education. NASPAA’s Publicases is building on the tremendous contributions to our field by the Hallway at the Evans School (University of Washington) and the Hubert Project at the Humphrey School (University of Minnesota), as well as other creators of teaching cases, simulations, and other learning materials from around the world.
How to access the case collection
If you are a faculty member at a NASPAA member program, you can access the system by requesting a login in from publicases@naspaa.org. NASPAA is currently transitioning AMS systems and will be setting up a single sign-on again in Spring 2026.
If you are a faculty member not at a NASPAA member school, you have the opportunity to purchase a case from Publicases for a small fee. If you choose to use the case in your classroom, you will send the main collection link to your students who will also be asked to purchase the case for the nominal fee.
Objectives
1. To strengthen the skills of student participants and future leaders across the globe in critical thinking and managing public governance, as well empowering them to engage in public service through simulations, cases and data-driven modes of learning.
2. To equip faculty with tools and teaching devices such as teaching cases, multimedia cases and videos, and simulations (computer-based and role playing), as part of an effort to enhance experiential learning opportunities in the classroom.
3. To train students in data analysis skills though real-world examples, specifically how to think forensically and employ nontraditional methods.
4. To provide expertise in public service values and working towards the public good to our partner organizations.
