About

Address the complex issues facing society.

O'Neill's doctoral programs in public affairs will equip you with research and analytical skills to produce knowledge that helps address the complex problems facing society.

Our public affairs curriculum prepares you to analyze problems and find solutions for the public and nonprofit sectors, drawing from the fields of public management, public finance, public policy analysis, and environmental policy. Our curriculum and training are firmly grounded in the social sciences, but we draw our research questions from real-world public affairs and policy issues.

You'll be prepared to lead for the greater good, whether in academia or as a practitioner.
