COLLEGE OF PUBLIC AFFAIRS AND ADMINISTRATION
Pinky Wassenberg, Interim Dean
The College of Public Affairs and Administration is at the
forefront of the campus’ public affairs mission 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. A multidisciplinary approach to
public affairs education and experiential learning is the foundation
of this preparation. The College of Public Affairs and
Administration has a three-part mission: 1) to educate students for
careers in public, private, and nonprofit organizations; 2) to
conduct scholarly research and contribute to the development of
knowledge 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.
