Ph.D. Programs Ph.D. in Public Affairs Ph.D. in Public Policy

ideal for students with strong public policy interests who also desire to ground their research in Political Science theory. The program is flexible, with relatively few explicit course requirements. Instead, a student works closely with a committee of faculty from both Political Science and SPEA to design his or her program. The main requirements are that students choose one field of study from Indiana University's Political Science Department, another field of study from the School of Public and Environmental Affairs, and the public policy field with faculty participation from both Political Science and the School of Public and Environmental Affairs.

Ph.D. in Public Affairs obtain strong grounding in both research methods and theory; however, unlike the Joint program, the disciplinary linkage to political science is not a necessity. Students choose two of four fields offered in SPEA—public management, policy analysis, public finance, or environmental policy. In addition, students are required to obtain a minor that broadens their academic training. Minors may be selected from other departments at IUB—Economics, Political Science, or Sociology are common choices—or from such choices as Finance in I.U.'s Kelley School of Business. Or, students may choose from one of four Doctoral Minors in SPEA. Course work in the Public Affairs program is a bit more prescribed than that of the joint degree program, though there is still considerable flexibility.Doctoral Minors in SPEA

Ph.D. in Environmental Science The doctoral program in environmental science is a rigorous, interdisciplinary course of study. The overall objectives of the program are: (1) to clarify and improve understanding of environmental problems and to identify solutions to these problems; and (2) to foster collaborative, interdisciplinary research amongst scientists from various disciplines.

Faculty Truly interdisciplinary Many fields Many research emphases Active research Active service Active in the classroom

Alumni SPEA alumni are engaged in a broad range of careers that impact our state, country and world, including Foreign Service Officers for the U.S. Department of State, policy advisors for members of Congress, land protection specialists at the Nature Conservancy, executive directors and development leaders for nonprofits such as the United Way, and policy analysts at the EPA. While SPEA alumni have a multitude of different jobs and interests, they have one thing in common—a passion for improving communities through smart policy and sound science.
