A Comparative Analysis of Public and Private Sector Graduate Programs in Public Policy

Abstract

This thesis compares the top ten public administration/affairs and public policy programs in the United States and asks the question--is it feasible to offer a public administration/affairs or public policy curriculum at the Naval Postgraduate School? The results clearly show that most of the core courses and elective courses offered by the top ten programs are available at the Naval Postgraduate School. Additionally, because of a variety of factors which include an informed faculty on defense issues and defense organizations, courses available to the students, and access to leaders in the Department of Defense, a program in public administration/affairs or public policy is feasible at the Naval Postgraduate School. Keywords: Defense management; Public policy programs; Theses.
