PA 509 Organizational Experience

Final integrative experience required for all M.P.A. and M.P.A.:HA students, who have limited or no administrative experience, and for all M.P.H.:HMP students regardless of experience. The student completes a field experience with an appropriate agency, culminating in a project report systematically analyzing an administrative problem that is both instructive to the student and of importance to the agency. Students are required to attend an orientation seminar to aid them in planning how the field experience will integrate with their coursework and their career goals, and to cultivate the habit of reflective practice. PA 509 may only be taken after students have earned at least 42 credits in their program of study.
