School of Public Administration faculty publications 2003-2006

Faculty publications, especially scholarly books and journal articles, are a benchmark of quality Ph.D. programs in any discipline. A 2005 article in the Journal of Public Affairs Education examined the 1993 to 2002 faculty and student publication rates in journals associated with the American Society of Public Administration, an organization representing public service disciplines. The study listed the top 22 universities with the most articles in journals. Florida Atlantic University, School of Public Administration ranked sixth with its faculty publications. The study also listed the top eight universities with most student publications. FAU School of Public Administration tied for the third place. These rankings reflect the top-quality research of faculty and students in the School of Public Administration.
