Master of Public Service and Administration and Doctor of Philosophy (EDAD) Combined Degree Program

The Bush School of Government and Public Service offers a combined Master of Public Service and Administration and Doctor of Philosophy degree.

The PSAA and EDAD Combined Degrees Program (CDP) is a coordinated educational effort of the Bush School and the School of Education and Human Development.

This unique academic program will prepare individuals for careers in research universities and teaching colleges as well as for careers in consultancies or educational agencies of all types (private, non-profit, local, state, federal or international). 

Ultimately, students who successfully complete all program requirements will receive both a Master of Public Service and Administration (MPSA) degree from the Bush School of Government and Public Service, and a Doctor of Philosophy in Educational Administration (PhD) from the Department of Educational Administration and Human Resource Development in the School of Education and Human Development.
