1 Academic Year College of Business and Public Management Doctorate in Public Administration Larry Schroeder MPA 1986 & DPA 2008 Mayor, City of Claremont U.S. News & World Report and Forbes Magazine

2 Receiving my education at the University of La Verne facilitated my development as a skilled public administrator, enhanced my opportunities for advancement, and the personal and professional contacts I made continue to be valuable resources in my life. Larry Schroeder MPA 1986 DPA 2008 Watch Larry s Video To state that Larry Schroeder has been a public servant for the majority of his professional life would be an understatement. Larry earned his Master s and Doctorate in Public Administration (1986, 2008, respectively), choosing La Verne because of its reputation for offering excellent degree programs focusing on practitioners of Public Administration. Earning his MPA resulted in a promotion to Senior Administrative Analyst at the City of Glendora, eventually [leading] to an opportunity to become the Director of Finance. Moving into the Finance Director position with the City of Lakewood, Larry decided to return for his Doctor of Public Administration. Earning his DPA has accentuated Larry s personal and professional life. As he puts it, I believe that having a Doctorate in Public Administration was one of the many things the contributed to my election to the Claremont City Council in As Mayor, I continue to use many of the theories and guiding principles I learned in making decisions for the benefit of the citizens of Claremont. In sum, Larry s experience at the University of La Verne has had a profound effect on him and his constituents: My degrees from La Verne have assisted me in segueing from a career as a public administrator into my roles as policy maker, teacher, and consultant. 2

3 Through its academic and co-curricular programs, the University provides rich educational opportunities that relate to both the academic and personal development of its students. Philosophically, the University emphasizes four major concerns that affirm a positive and rewarding life for its students: Values Orientation affirming a philosophy of life that actively supports the health of the planet and its people. Community and Diversity encouraging students to understand and appreciate the diversity of cultures existing locally, nationally, and internationally. Lifelong Learning teaching students how to learn, how to think critically, how to do responsible research, and how to access and integrate information to prepare them for career growth, flexibility, and continued personal growth. Community Service encouraging students to experience the responsibilities and rewards of serving the human and ecological community. 3

4 Coursework The DPA academic year consists of two semesters (Fall and Spring). Students enter in the Fall semester that typically begins the second weekend in September and ends at the conclusion of the second weekend in December. Classes resume in the Spring semester that typically begins the second week in February, and ends at the conclusion of the second weekend in May. Each semester, students complete three complementary courses designed to reflect the interdisciplinary nature of public administration. The curriculum itself is selected to reflect the faculty s view of the complex role of and challenges facing the public executive. Each course focuses on theoretical understandings and practical competencies that are important to the performance of this role. 4 Program Design: How the Program Works The DPA program accommodates the professional adult with weekend classes. The complete curriculum totals 54 semester hours of course work, followed by additional semester hours of dissertation units (2 units to 22 units). The curriculum is designed so that each individual engages in coursework as a first year, second year, or third year student. Students must successfully complete the entire curriculum for each year before progressing to the next academic progress is evaluated every semester. After successful completion of the DPA core curriculum, students apply for advancement to candidacy after which they begin working with a committee towards completion of their dissertation. DPA Instructional Model The instructional model of the Doctoral Program in Public Administration is unique among other doctoral programs in the country. It has three primary characteristics: the year-based curriculum, the intensive, and the classroom instruction.

5 Philosophical Overview The University of La Verne s Doctorate in Public Administration program assists professionals who are motivated to improve their leadership, management, and decisionmaking skills. The DPA program engages the professional in a unique process where students play an integral role in the management of learning. The program is inter-disciplinary in design and incorporates international and comparative experiences. Program Values La Verne s Department of Public Administration has built an educational environment that empowers students to become scholarly practitioners and dynamic individuals who can combine substantial knowledge and thoughtful understanding of theory with capable, practical management and leadership. The Department continuously provides high quality, student-oriented learning by seeking and fostering qualified, responsible, dedicated faculty who believe in and can deliver its key values: Educational excellence Personal and professional success for students Relevant course work Developing The Scholarly Practitioner The values and tenets of the Public Administration Department inspire the faculty to facilitate two primary goals for you, the DPA student: You can acquire knowledge and skills in such areas as leadership, conflict management, ethics, decision making, and management processes. This will prepare you to assume greater administrative responsibility. You can learn methodologies that better enable you to approach a variety of issues from the perspectives of logical inquiry, critical thinking, and systematic problem solving. The DPA prepares you to assume vital roles as outstanding, insightful contributors to the public and service sectors. The curriculum offers state-of-the-art management courses that stress creativity, responsible leadership, values, building the essential abilities to anticipate, interpret, and manage change in a challenging and complex workplace. The DPA Student The Doctor of Public Administration program at the University of La Verne has a current population of over 120 students. Of this group, about 10% are international students and 50% are female. The average age of the students in the program is 40, and over 75% work as managers, administrators, or entrepreneurs. What makes the DPA program unique is the synergy created by the enthusiasm, knowledge, and experience of a multi-disciplinary faculty added to a highly-diverse student population. The program seeks to gather intelligent, professional adult practitioners and professors. Each participant contributes to the ever-expanding richness of comparative and international experiences. 5

6 Course Delivery All students in the DPA program attend three weekend Intensives each semester. In addition to the Intensive weekends, students will select a group that meets on campus. You will meet six times a semester for approximately six hours each meeting (usually every other Saturday). The purpose of the group meetings is to provide a collaborative, seminar-like context for students and faculty together to discuss and understand the readings and to work on team projects. Students also receive individual guidance and assistance from faculty and colleagues on individual projects and research courses. Students must attend all Intensives and Group Meetings. The Intensives Three Intensive seminars are held each semester and are an integral part of the program curriculum. They last three days: Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. The first Intensive, held at the opening of the semester, is called Theme Orientation. As the name suggests, its purpose is to orient the student to the semester. In particular, the opening Intensive reviews the objectives of the semester, explains individual and team project requirements, and provides an overview of the major theories and concepts that underlie the semester themes. The second Intensive, called the Midterm Intensive, is held near the middle of the semester. Its purpose is to further stimulate and expand students depth of understanding of semester themes. Guest speakers with special expertise and/or experience with semester themes are often invited to augment faculty lectures and learning activities. The final Intensive concludes the semester. Its major purposes are to give students and their teammates the opportunity to share their work with faculty and fellow students for their review and evaluation, make professional presentations, and provide an opportunity to synthesize semester learnings. 6

7 I was interested in a doctoral program that catered to the needs of working adults. Bob Owen DPA 2008 Vice President for Information Technology Western Kentucky University Dissertation In addition to completing the three years of coursework, the DPA student produces a dissertation of publishable quality as part of the program requirements. This document exhibits thorough, disciplined inquiry into policy, organization, leadership, or management issues. Led by a dissertation advisor who is a full-time faculty member, the student forms a dissertation committee for advisement from the time of study design to oral defense. Because of the professional nature of the DPA program, a qualified practitioner (holding an earned doctorate) ordinarily participates on the dissertation committee of the doctoral candidate. Students must successfully complete their coursework, pass comprehensive exams, and advance to candidacy prior to forming a committee and beginning their dissertation research. 7
