Undergraduate Public Affairs Education

The first book of its kind to offer concrete, experienced guidance, tips, and general best practices in public affairs and nonprofit undergraduate education from those who have 'been there,' with chapters written by current and former program administrators and directors. Explores the variety of programs that are offered in public and nonprofit affairs/administration, the different degree components and specializations, and types of experiential learning. Provides a careful account of different assessment and outcome practices, the value of accelerated degree programs, the current place of accreditation, and the appropriate resources available for program directors and administrators.
