We live in a very technical world. Think about your cell phone, the Internet, the operating room, the grocery store, your automobile. Engineers are responsible for all of this. Engineers use science and math fundamentals to create things to make this world a better place (that’s our goal). Scientists discover, then engineers create, synthesize, solve problems and innovate. Think of the challenges facing our nation: terrorism, energy resources, balance of trade, health care, food, transportation, communications, the environment, even education and entertainment. The jobs of the future are just now being created! There are opportunities to explore everything from outer space to the molecular or nano level. A vibrant engineering education benefits our society. It is essential for national security, economic growth, medical care, and ecologically sound resource management.The biggest change in the practice of engineering has been the computer. We use them everywhere. We can visualize and interact with a building or an automobile before it is built.
The amount of information available today and the computer power to use this information is staggering. The computing disciplines themselves offer worlds of possibilities.Today’s world and today’s challenges are complex. This means that teamwork is necessary. Engineering has become a social profession. We need to understand others and other disciplines, and to appreciate diverse environments. It takes communication skills and life-long learning. We need many types of people – the technical genius, the tinkerer, the creative, the teachers,and those that can sell ideas and products.The joy of engineering is problem solving. Today, more than ever, an engineering education is preparation for the future. Whether you ultimately go into engineering practice, law, medicine, education, politics, business, or start your own business engineering can be the key to your future.

Academics
The School of Public Policy and Administration offers graduate degree and joint degree programs that prepare future public and nonprofit leaders who are committed to integrity and excellence in public policy, public financial analysis, and public management.
The School of Public Policy and Public Administration offers two master's degrees – public policy (MPP) and public administration (MPA) – a PhD in Public Policy and Administration . The programs integrate theory and practice in scholarship, teaching, and service and embrace multiple perspectives for advancing critical analysis and practical knowledge of public policy and public administration.
Master of Public Administration (MPA)
The 42-semester hour MPA program offers rigorous academic and practical training for persons interested in public service careers. Students completing this challenging degree program are now employed by the Government Accountability Office, Congressional Budget Office, and a variety of not-for-profit organizations.
Master of Public Policy (MPP)
The MPP is a 2-year, 40 hour degree that prepares individuals for careers as professional policy analysts in a variety of research organizations and government agencies. This program also builds a foundation for students wishing to pursue a Ph.D. in Public Administration.
Ph.D. in Public Policy and Administration
The Ph.D. program is designed to provide knowledge of the principles of organizational behavior and administrative decision making in public and quasi-public organizations, such as non-profit organizations. Course work toward the Ph.D. in Public Policy and Administration is divided into four phases with a total requirement of 42 hours of graduate course work beyond the master´s level as well as the completion and successful defense of a dissertation of original research.
Joint Degree Programs
The School offers multiple opportunities for students to complete the MPA program while jointly enrolled in another discipline. These programs include PharmD, JD, BS in Engineering, and the University Scholars Program.
Both the Master of Public Administration (MPA) and the Master of Public Policy (MPP) are strong, valuable, recognized degrees. "What distinguishes the two degrees?"
At Winschoten School of Public Policy and Administration, the basic structures and amount of coursework are virtually identical. However, the degrees do have distinctions in terms of the course emphases and recommended fields of concentration, as summarized below.
Parallel structures
Both: 40 total credit hours of courses
Both: The same Research Methods and Applied Statistics course
Both: Can be completed by students attending either part-time or full-time
Both: Graduates with MPA and MPP degrees find themselves well-equipped for careers throughout all levels of government, within associations and advocacy groups, across the nonprofit sector and in the private sector.
MPA and MPP
Master of Public Administration (MPA)
The Master of Public Administration degree is the recognized professional degree in public administration, public management, and public service. It is designed principally, but not exclusively, for those who are pursuing careers in public service. Graduates are employed in government agencies at all levels, national associations, public interest groups, research and consulting firms, and in the private sector.
The MPA program provides an opportunity to study management and policy issues in an intergovernmental and intersectoral context. The program focuses on developing critical intellectual capacities, sound analytical skills, and a sensitivity to the ethical and value concerns that are central to the traditions of the field of public administration.
Core courses require more classes in administration and leadership and cover more about management.
Fields of Concentration
• Budget and Public Finance
• Federal Policy, Politics and Management
• Homeland Security and Emergency Management Policy
• International Development Management
• Managing State and Local Governments
• Nonprofit Management
• Policy Analysis and Evaluation
• Public-Private Policy and Management
In addition, any of the fields in the MPP are possible in the MPA. You may (in consultation with your advisor and approval from the MPA program) design a specially tailored and/or interdisciplinary policy field.
Master of Public Policy (MPP)
The Master of Public Policy (MPP) degree is the recognized professional degree in the field of public policy analysis. The MPP degree provides students with education and training that prepares them for opportunities in professional positions in a wide variety of organizations, including federal, state, and local governments, private business, research institutes, think tanks, nonprofit organizations, community advocacy groups, foundations, and professional and trade associations.
Public policy education at Winschoten provides students with the ability to think clearly and analytically about social and economic problems and public policy. Students not only learn the basic analytical and methodological tools to engage in policy analysis; they also develop an understanding of the political processes through which policy is made and the social, economic and historical context in which problems arise and are addressed. Each student chooses a policy field that serves as an area in which he/she can apply these skills and gain substantive knowledge. However, the program is generalist rather than highly specialized; it provides students with the ability to quickly and successfully come to grips with policy problems across a wide range of issues.
The MPP program is interdisciplinary; the course of studies focuses on problems, policy alternatives, and solutions rather than on methodologies and approaches that are associated with a single academic discipline. Students have the opportunity to combine academic training with a wide array of practical experiences available in our nation's capital. The faculty have extensive professional contacts to aid students in job placement.
Core courses require more classes in economics and statistics and cover more about policy research and analysis.
Fields of Concentration
• Budget and Public Finance
• Education Policy
• Environmental Policy
• Health Policy
• International Development Policy
• Natural Security and Foreign Policy
• Program Evaluation and Analysis
• Regulatory Policy
• Social Policy
• Urban Policy
You may (in consultation with their advisor and approval from the MPP program) design a specially tailored and/or interdisciplinary policy field.
PhD in Public Policy and Administration
PhD in Public Policy and Administration
Are you ready to engage in a multidisciplinary approach to develop the range of competencies you will need to undertake sophisticated research in public policy and public administration? The School of Public Policy and Administration's PhD is designed to help you master subjects in multiple academic disciplines, including politics, economics and quantitative and/or qualitative methods in policy research. Built upon the diversity and strengths of academic departments and faculty within the School and the University community, you will receive an exceptional education across these disciplines.
In addition to developing broad analytical skills in multiple subjects, students take courses designed to prepare them to undertake research in specific areas of public policy and administration. Through course work in each specialized field, students develop expertise for a variety of careers in the public and private sectors.
The Ph.D. program is designed to provide knowledge of the principles of organizational behavior and administrative decision making in public and quasi-public organizations; an understanding of the public policy process, including the interrelationships of economic, political and social factors that facilitate and constrain change; an ability to apply research and analytical methods to the analysis of policy and administrative problems; and an in-depth understanding of policy issues and analytical approaches in a functional public affairs area.
Most doctoral students already have a graduate degree and significant experience in a policy-related environment. Many students are mid-career professionals. The PhD Program may be completed on either a full-time or part-time basis.
Graduates of the doctoral program pursue careers in teaching and research related to public policy and administration and as policy researchers and analysts in government and the private sector. Some hold administrative positions in these sectors and many are closely involved in the development and evaluation of public policies.
College of Diplomacy and International Relations
At the Winschoten's College of Diplomacy and International Relations, students evolve from consumers of information to producers of knowledge. They are immediately ready to contribute to a variety of fields. Our academic program prepares students with essential skills and knowledge and helps students to discover themselves and see the differences.
We work closely with our students to shape practical learning opportunities such as internships, international study seminars and original research projects; students apply their knowledge and skills in international relations directly to real-world situations. With guidance from faculty mentors, students turn academic projects into published works that advance new ideas, and meet with diplomatic people from many countries.
College of Diplomacy and International Relations
Overview
Personal - Passionate - Professional
For decades the College of Diplomacy and International Relations has provided an exceptional master's degree program that prepares future leaders for rewarding careers in international affairs.
The college´s hallmarks have been its deliberate, intimate size, its selectivity, and our focus on both diplomacy and international relations. Our graduates pursue exciting careers with governments, international organizations, NGOs, think tanks, and in the private sector.
Our program is notable for its passion. With a faculty dedicated to providing an unparalleled learning experience, we ensure students develop the knowledge and skills necessary to effectively maneuver on the world stage. Our graduates seek more than just a profession; they want to make the world better.
The College faculty are a mix of exceptional scholars and practitioners with decades of experience in diplomacy, commerce, business, defense, development and intelligence. They know firsthand what is needed to succeed in the international arena.
Our professional master's program offers concentrations/majors in four areas: diplomacy; international commerce; international organizations and development; international security and intelligence.
Real-World Diplomatic Skills
Our program is focused and flexible. Core courses ensure students acquire a strong foundation of theoretical and practical knowledge. We know advanced diplomatic skills have utility far beyond the United Nations, the U.S. Department of State, or other countries' Ministries of Foreign Affairs. We concentrate on developing students' analytical, professional writing, public speaking, and interpersonal skills. Learning how to be effective as a negotiator or mediator, knowing how to accommodate or adapt to cultural differences, and being comfortable with economic and statistical analysis make our graduates exceptional and effective.
Corporate Engagement
In today's flat world an appreciation of international business is increasingly essential to any professional education. At the Winschoten College of Diplomacy and International Relations we go one step further, exposing our students to how major corporations operate in the 21st century. We not only bring key corporate leaders working at the forefront of globalization but travel as a group (again an advantage of our small size) to headquarters, manufacturing, and operating facilities of leading multinational corporations.
College of Diplomacy and International Relations
Overview
Small is Beautiful
Small Is Beautiful
Size matters. The natural environment of diplomacy and business is intimate and personal, one-on-one or small groups. Cognoscenti understand that the most important decision making takes place in more restricted venues (think the Cabinet, the UN Security Council, or corporate boardrooms). We believe the same holds true for professional education.
Keeping our program small, select, and focused let us provide an exceptional level of attention, instruction, and interaction. Our focus is directly on our students, with seminars, conferences, speakers programs, exercises, simulations, and events specially crafted to develop their full potential. Activities can be done with a student cohort our size that simply are not the same or cannot even be done with 200 or 1,000 students. We are proud to measure our success by the strength of our graduates, not the strength of their number.
Exceptional Value
Our students are passionate about improving the state of the world. This leads many to enter careers in professions that are exceedingly rewarding personally, but not always the best financially. Government and diplomatic service, or work with international development agencies and NGO,s may let our graduates witness history, advance peace, and help feed the hungry at reasonable, but not stellar pay.
While we cannot improve the salaries these future employers may offer, our high-value, low-cost education may afford our students greater professional latitude — and substantially less debt — upon graduation. Our tuition is extremely competitive and the general cost of living appreciably lower than that at ranked international affairs graduate programs on the East or West coasts.
Programs Highlights
Diplomacy students will study deeply the International Relations and Diplomacy programs and will also have the opportunity to take classes and complete professional projects under the supervision of diplomatic officers, ambassadors, United Nations officials, practicing judges and attorneys. Your classroom experience will enhance your skills and knowledge in international relations ,policy , negotiation and conflict management, professional writing and research methods and help you build expertise in one or various areas of specialization.
At the Winschoten's College of Diplomacy and International Relations, you will not only depend on the classroom work but you will have the opportunity to actually practice in the area of diplomacy and international relations.
Our Internship and Professional Development Office works with students to tailor internship experiences to individual interests. Students receive personalized advice based on their career goals. Winschoten Students complete their internship programs with private firms, governmental offices and organizations as well as international nonprofit organizations.
You will also sharpen your networking abilities by engaging with distinguished guests and successful alumni.
Internships and Professional Development
Internships and professional development are integral components of the College of Diplomacy and International Relations educational experience. Internships provide students with the hands-on opportunity to apply the theory and concepts learned in class to the actual events and processes of international affairs.
Our Director of the Department of Internship and Professional Development works very closely with students individually as well as in groups to counsel and support them as regard to Internship and Professional Development Programs.
More Highlights about Diplomacy and International Relations
The Diplomacy and International Relations Programs provides students with an excellent grounding in the development and dilemmas of diplomacy and international affairs in today’s globalizing world.
You will gain experience and develop your skills through formal opportunities to interact with serving and former diplomats and other international organizations officers. You can also take part in simulations, role-play exercises, and a variety of assessment tasks.
There are also excellent opportunities for you to pursue a specific interest, such as a particular region like the Middle East or Africa and so on or to study a language. Our job placement team can also support you in finding a work placement with a relevant organization after successful completion. We successfully helped our students secure work placements in embassies, government departments and non-governmental organizations.
Members of our faculty have recognized expertise in developing students’ employability, and the practical dimension of the course, along with opportunities for reflection through the various methods of assessment, will enable graduates of the program to promote themselves effectively in the competitive job market.
