Professional Paper

PADM 553 (1-3 to a maximum of 6 Δ)

Must be taken by all students who are not pursuing the thesis option. In general, papers will be more extensive than term papers, perhaps including case studies, reports of research results, theoretical essays or similar contributions of substantive and professional quality.

Students must enroll for 3 hours the first semester, and then for 1 hour consecutively thereafter (including summer sessions), until their professional paper is approved.

Only the first 3 credit hours will count toward the M.P.A. degree.

Offered on a CR/NC basis only.

Restriction: permission of academic advisor.
