PUBLIC  ADMINISTRATION

TEACHING  ROUNDTABLE

The syllabi are organized along broad categories of disciplines identified by NASPAA as common curriculum components for graduate programs awarding master's degree in public affairs/policy/administration. For more details, visit NASPAA homepage. The Public Administration Teaching Roundtable website is constantly updated and we are seeking to establish links to as many on-line sources as possible.

The general requirements for choosing a model syllabus are the following:

• The syllabus clearly articulates class outcomes, teaching goals and student inputs;
   

• Suggested teaching format has been tested for this particular subject for at least 3 years.

Additional Criteria may be suggested by curators of each subject area. If you have your syllabus on-line and want to have a link from the public administration teaching roundtable website, please contact Jaeduk Keum at the National Center for Public Productivity.
