 |
The Johns Hopkins Public Management Program is a public policy school affiliated with Johns Hopkins University in Washington, D.C.[1] MA in Public Management emphasizes the fundamentals of public management: financial management, policy analysis, tax and budget policy, and public administration. The curriculum is designed for working professionals in the government and nonprofit sector. [2] Courses may be taken at a full- or part-time pace. The program is led by Paul Weinstein, and offers a 12 course Master of Arts in Public Management. [3]l The program began in 2011 and combines a rigorous curriculum with faculty from academia, government, nonprofit, and the private sector. [4] A master’s degree in public policy is geared toward analysts who want to delve fully into the details of economics, public finance and research. A master’s in public administration is for those who are focused on the management of staff in government agencies, nonprofits and other organizations. Students usually choose one or the other. A Masters in Public Management tries to combines the two. The M.A. in Public Management have only four course requirements; Public Policy Evaluation and the Policy Process, Financial Management and Analysis in the Public Sector, Economics for Public Decision Making, and then, either Proseminar: Essentials of Public and Private Management, Quantitative Methods, or Principles of Nonprofit Management. They choose seven electives and complete a capstone project of their own design. The goal of the capstone is to provide a detailed solution to an identified problem.[5]
