Degree Programs
Overview
Public affairs is such a comprehensive and dynamic field that it often
defies simple definition. The concept of public affairs both
encompasses and integrates a wide range of disciplines that include
political science, economics, sociology, communications, international
relations, administration, organizational management, and many others.
Schools of public affairs succeed when they can expose students to a
broad understanding of the theories and skills required for a career in
public affairs, while also providing the flexibility and diversity
necessary for specialization and practical experience that are also at
the core of public policymaking. The top-ranked curriculum at the LBJ
School offers students the chance to work closely with a highly
respected faculty, and to take advantage of the facilities and expertise
made possible by our affiliation with the University of Texas at
Austin.
