“Promoting Scholarship, Democratic Governance, and Integrity.”
The Reubin O’D. Askew School of Public Administration and Policy at Florida State University was founded in 1947 and is one of the oldest Master’s of Public Administration degrees in the nation. Named in honor of former Florida governor, Reubin O’D. Askew, we have an exciting variety of topics to study, nationally-known faculty, and tremendous students.
We strive to promote ethical and competent leadership in the management of public and non-profit organizations through training that emphasizes the integration of theory and practice, creative problem-solving, integrity and stewardship, and skills in research and administration.
We offer a Ph.D. and Master’s of Public Administration programs, as well as a robust offering of graduate certificate tracks. At this time, the GRE is waived for all incoming MPA students. However, the GRE is required for all Ph.D. students.
