The Doctor of Public Administration (D.P.A.) is a terminal applied-research doctoral degree in the field of public administration (government), which is a sub-discipline of political science. The D.P.A. requires significant coursework beyond the masters level and a dissertation that contributes to theory or practice. Upon successful completion, the title of "Doctor" is awarded and the post-nominal letters of D.P.A. or DPA can be used.

Like a Ph.D., a D.P.A. is normally a terminal research degree. The U.S. Department of Education and the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) recognize the D.P.A. as an academically equivalent degree to the more common Ph.D. and they do not discriminate between the two degrees.

In many cases, D.P.A. programs are identical to Ph.D. programs. Additionally, the D.P.A. dissertation is usually at the same level as a Ph.D. in terms of effort, rigor, contribution to knowledge, supervision and assessment. A study published by the National Association of Schools of Public Affairs and Administration titled What's in a Name? Comparing DPA and Ph.D. Programs concluded that there was "few differences between the programs, noting that degree title is more informative about the type of students recruited than outputs"[1]

D.P.A. research is both theoretical and practical, but the research focus of the typical D.P.A. addresses applied issues, with the results providing professional outcomes that are of direct relevance to practice. While also intended to prepare graduates for academic careers, the D.P.A., by virtue of its focus on application of theory, has more practical application in managerial settings than the Ph.D degree. Most D.P.A. graduates lead careers as senior-level practitioners, while others enter academia. This is similar to other professional research doctorates such as the Doctor of Business Administration (DBA) and Doctor of Education (Ed.D).

A Ph.D. is more concentrated on developing theory and conducting specialized scholarly research. This degree is more appropriate for people who wish to become professional researchers, or who wish to pursue a career in academia. Most Ph.D. graduates lead careers as university researchers and professors or as senior researchers in business or government.

Purpose[edit]
The Doctor of Public Administration program is designed to provide senior-level public managers, or quasi-public managers, with the substantive skills, knowledge and values necessary in this area. Students in most programs develop a thorough knowledge of the legal, ethical and political environments of public administrators. Students understand the administrative functions of governmental agencies and gain expertise in strategic planning, advanced management techniques, program implementation and results-based leadership.

Structure of Programs[edit]
Most D.P.A. programs require about 90 credit hours of combined graduate coursework. Students are expected to take a number of core classes, electives, research/method classes, and dissertation credits. Some programs also require comprehensive examinations. All programs require a doctoral dissertation that contributes to knowledge. Candidates typically work with a committee and advisors throughout the process and the dissertation eventually requires an oral defense to the student's committee. Curricula may be offered on a full-time or part-time basis. The normal duration of a doctorate should correspond to 3–5 years of full-time graduate study or 7–10 years of sustained part-time graduate study.

The D.P.A. is preceded by a master's degree, typically the Master of Public Administration or the Master of Public Policy. D.P.A. programs are most common in the United States and the Philippines. The D.P.A. degree may have a specialization such as management science, organizational behavior, implementation, non-profit management, public finance, national security, defense policy, education policy, environmental policy, international trade and immigration, policy making, policy evaluation, program evaluation, criminal justice, civil rights, health and welfare, federalism, strategic management, public health, administrative law, social welfare, tax policy, government-business relations, economic policy, and public management.

Like many Ph.D. programs, D.P.A. programs typically require a master's degree and significant work experience before proceeding.

Một nghiên cứu được xuất bản bởi các quốc gia Hiệp hội của trường học của công vụ và quản lý có tiêu đề gì 's in a Name? So sánh DPA và chương trình tiến sĩ đã kết luận rằng đã có "vài sự khác biệt giữa các chương trình, lưu ý rằng mức độ tiêu đề là thêm thông tin về loại sinh viên tuyển dụng hơn kết quả đầu ra" [1]D.P.A. nghiên cứu là cả lý thuyết và thực hành, nhưng tập trung nghiên cứu của các địa chỉ D.P.A. điển hình áp dụng vấn đề, với kết quả cung cấp kết quả chuyên nghiệp có liên quan trực tiếp để thực hành. Trong khi cũng nhằm chuẩn cho sinh viên tốt nghiệp cho học nghề nghiệp, D.P.A., bởi Đức hạnh của nó tập trung vào các ứng dụng của lý thuyết, đã ứng dụng thực tế hơn trong quản lý cài đặt hơn mức độ tiến sĩ. D.P.A. hầu hết sinh viên tốt nghiệp dẫn nghề nghiệp như học viên cấp cao cấp, trong khi những người khác nhập học viện. Điều này là tương tự như tiến sĩ chuyên nghiệp nghiên cứu khác chẳng hạn như bác sĩ quản trị kinh doanh (DBA) và bác sĩ giáo dục (Ed.D).Bằng tiến sĩ hơn là tập trung vào phát triển lý thuyết và tiến hành nghiên cứu chuyên ngành học thuật. Văn bằng này là thích hợp hơn cho những người muốn trở thành nhà nghiên cứu chuyên nghiệp hoặc những người muốn theo đuổi sự nghiệp học viện. Hầu hết các bằng tiến sĩ sinh viên tốt nghiệp dẫn đầu sự nghiệp như là các nhà nghiên cứu đại học và giáo sư hoặc là nhà nghiên cứu cao cấp trong kinh doanh hoặc chính phủ.Nội dung [ẩn] 1 mục đích2 cấu trúc chương trình3 mẫu luận văn/nghiên cứu4 Xem thêm5 tham khảoMục đích [sửa]The Doctor of Public Administration program is designed to provide senior-level public managers, or quasi-public managers, with the substantive skills, knowledge and values necessary in this area.
