Network Of Schools Of Public Policy, Affairs, And Administration (Naspaa)

NASPAA sets the global standard in public service education! With more than 280 schools of public policy, affairs, and administration around the world as institutional members, NASPAA ensures excellence in education and training for public service, and promotes the ideal of public service. Through a world-class CHEA-recognized NASPAA ACCREDITATION program, an annual conference, a journal on teaching and learning, a data center offering the most comprehensive search on the web for prospective students, and an honor society for graduates, NASPAA serves our members every day. We also work with public sector and nonprofit sector employers, including state and local governments, ICMA, the US Federal government and other countries' civil service agencies, international employers and multilaterals, public sector consulting firms and contractors, and nonprofits from small to global---all in the cause of getting them to understand and hire the skills of our more than 10,000 MPA and MPP graduates each year! NASPAA Headquarters is located in Washington, DC. Established in 1970, NASPAA was known as the National Association of Schools of Public Affairs and Administration until 2012 when members adopted the name "NASPAA--Network of Schools of Public Policy, Affairs, and Administration" to reflect our global membership.
