The official page of Public Administration and International Affairs at Syracuse University's Maxwell School.
Maxwell’s MPA program is a full year 40-credit professional graduate degree designed to prepare students for the challenges of leadership and management in the public sector. Created nearly 90 years ago it is the nation’s first professional program in public management and policy and has consistently been ranked among the very best schools for public and international affairs in the country. Maxwell is the only major school where the professional graduate program in public administration is integrated within the larger school of social sciences (anthropology, economics, geography, history, political science and sociology). This strong tradition of interdisciplinary research and study provides a rich context for the professional study of public policy analysis and management.
The International Relations Program attracts students from around the world and utilizes the resources of Maxwell’s various academic departments and multidisciplinary research programs. Core faculty are drawn from across the school and University to create a truly unique academic program ranked among the best in the country.
