NASPAA STANDARDS 2009: 
Defining Quality in Public Affairs Education


Standards 2009 Instructions Draft as of 9/12/08
Standards 2009 Draft as of 9/12/08


NASPAA-accredited Master of Public Administration and Master of Public Policy programs across the nation are embarking on a three-year enterprise to develop and deliver a new set of quality measures and assessment processes to be used in MPA/MPP program accreditation. 
As the needs of the public sector change, NASPAA must undertake an earnest discussion of how to best educate and develop public affairs leaders, ensuring that graduates of accredited programs obtain the relevant and competitive skills and competencies they need to excel in public service professions.

This venture begins by exploring the needs of employers, students and the public sector, and will result in a new set of NASPAA accreditation standards to be presented for a vote at the 2009 NASPAA Fall Conference.
