COLLEGE OF PUBLIC AFFAIRS AND ADMINISTRATION
Glen Hahn Cope, Dean

www.uis.edu/PAA.html

The College of Public Affairs and Administration is at the forefront of the campus' mission of public affairs and service within the context of liberal arts and professional education. The college serves the capital city and the state of Illinois well in preparing its students to enter the workforce, using a multidisciplinary approach to public service education and experiential learning as the foundation of this preparation.

The College of Public Affairs and Administration has a three-part mission: 1) to educate students for careers in fields related to public service in public, private, and nonprofit organizations through strong liberal arts-based undergraduate, professional master's degree, and doctoral programs; 2) to conduct scholarly research projects and contribute to the development of knowledge in the areas of faculty expertise through publications, presentations, and other activities; and 3) to contribute to the community, state, nation, and the world through public service activities.

In addition to its undergraduate and graduate programs and certificates, the college also offers the only doctoral program on the UIS campus, the doctor of public administration. Degree and certificate programs are offered by the college in traditional classroom environments in daytime, evening, and weekend classes and through distance learning.
