Public Administration (PhD)
Program description.
Learn how to produce the insights you'll need to create, evaluate, and shape equitable programs and policies in this interdisciplinary program.
Interdisciplinary. Flexible. Powerful.
Through theoretical and methodological training, NYU Wagner's doctoral students learn how to produce insights required for effective and equitable public and nonprofit programs and policies. Our program is interdisciplinary, just like our faculty, so students can draw on economics, political science, sociology, psychology, organization studies, and other fields. What's more, it is flexible, allowing students to design a plan of study that takes advantage of the many courses offered at NYU Wagner and NYU's other graduate schools.
We encourage students to study the questions that drive them, while providing the guidance necessary to have the greatest impact. And, we emphasize research and teaching experience. Students have many opportunities to participate in research projects with individual faculty or through our affiliated research centers, as well as opportunities to lead classes as teaching colleagues and instructors.
Students interested in conducting research in these areas are encouraged to apply:
- Education policy
- Health policy
- International development
- Public finance and financial management
- Public policy
- Urban policy
The program prepares graduates for careers at academic institutions, in think tanks, research firms, and research units of public, quasi-public, and private organizations, as well as for other positions with substantial responsibilities for the supervision and administration of research.
Admission to the PhD program requires the following:
- Online Application
- Personal Statement
- Writing Sample
- Curriculum Vitae
- Letters of Recommendation
- Transcripts
- Standardized Test Scores
- Application Fee
- Supporting Documentation (optional)
See PhD Application Checklist for admission requirements and instructions specific to this program.
Program Requirements
Preliminary qualifying examination (pqe), fields of study, comprehensive examinations, third year paper, dissertation.
Seventy-two (72) credits are required for the doctoral degree with a GPA of 3.3/B+ or better average. At a minimum, 32 credits of coursework must be completed at NYU Wagner and/or other graduate divisions of NYU. Of these 32 credits, at least 16 must be other than the Core or introductory level courses. In most cases, students may transfer up to a maximum of 40 credits of relevant coursework from their Master's program. Note that the courses to be applied to the PhD must be approved by the Doctoral Program Director.
Additional Program Requirements
The PQE is an essay exam constructed to assess the student's capability to design a research proposal based on a research problem scenario presented to them. It also tests the capacity for clear and logical expository writing. The PQE does not examine specific substantive knowledge from any given course; instead, it relies on the student's general knowledge and the appreciation of the logic of applied social science research.
The PQE is scheduled in the spring semester and must be taken during the first year of matriculation.
Students choose two fields of study and must pass a Comprehensive Exam for each field at the end of the second year of study.
- A core doctoral field ( Management or Public Policy )
- Choose another core field
- Choose one of the existing specialty fields: Education Policy , Health Policy , International Development , Public Finance and Financial Management , or Urban Policy
- Develop a customized field (subject to approval by the Wagner School Doctoral Board)
Fields of study are defined by a coherent body of knowledge: concepts and theories, research, and professional literature. A field is more than just a cluster of courses. However, coursework does contribute to identifying theoretical and substantive bases of a field. Further, fields are not mutually exclusive. In fact, they tend to overlap, even though each field represents a distinctive set of intellectual concerns expressed in theories, topics, approaches and research emphases.
The customized field option is available under special circumstances and upon consultation with the student's advisor.
Comprehensive Examinations are the second and final set of exam requirements for the PhD degree. In these examinations, students are expected to demonstrate their capacity to analyze and assess critically the major concepts, theories, and research in each of their chosen fields and their ability to present these perspectives in a well-documented, cogent, clear and logical manner.
- Both comprehensive exams must be taken in the 2nd year of study.
- The comprehensive exams may not be waived.
- Students who do not pass on their first try must retake the failed exam before the beginning of the third year of study.
- Except under unusual circumstances, students who fail any of the fields twice will be terminated from the doctoral program.
In the third year, students are required to demonstrate the knowledge and proficiency gained from their theoretical framework and research methodology modules (and other coursework) by completing a research paper under the guidance of two faculty members.
A dissertation is the result of a scholarly investigation on a topic or problem conducted independently by the candidate under the general guidance of a faculty committee and chaired by a primary advisor. The committee plays a key role in guiding the candidate's proposal, research, and writing. To facilitate the advisory process, the candidate selects his/her faculty committee on the basis of common intellectual interest on the dissertation topic. Two additional external readers are added later in the process, in consultation with the Doctoral Program Director, to participate in the defense. Ultimately, what constitutes a dissertation is the result of an agreement between the student, the chair, and the committee members.
Sample Plan of Study

Public Finance and Financial Management - PhD
This field is concerned with the formulation, implementation, and evaluation of policies and procedures surrounding the use of resources and raising of revenues by public and non-profit entities. The primary emphasis is on nonprofit and healthcare organizations, and state and local governmental bodies, although some attention is given to the federal government and international settings as well.
Microeconomics is the most important disciplinary background for the field. Principles of efficient resource allocation as well as equity in outcome are used to analyze both the internal operations of organizations and their external environment. In other words, the study of: (1) financial management (internal to the organization), and (2) public finance (external to the organization) are combined. Common methodologies used to study finance issues are multivariate statistical analysis, techniques of managerial accounting, and finance and case studies. Students in the public finance and financial management field must complete the modules in microeconomic analysis and in applied statistics and econometrics.
Research in the areas of public finance and financial management often requires depth of knowledge in a specific area, such as education finance, financial management of nonprofit organizations, or tax policy. Such depth of knowledge involves both a foundation gained from coursework, as well as significant study of literature beyond the material covered in coursework.

Pandemic proved to be a revelatory time for PhD student
Shannon whittaker, phd ’24 (social and behavioral sciences, public health).
If you think writing a dissertation is hard, try doing it during a pandemic.
Shannon Whittaker, who is graduating from the Yale School of Public Health this spring with a PhD in social and behavioral sciences and public health, started her dissertation while COVID-19 had shut down most of the world. She calls it the most revelatory point of her time at YSPH. It was as much a self-revelation as a scholarly one.
“I learned to rely on and trust myself and my instincts, which fostered a sense of self-reliance,” she said.
“I also learned how to compartmentalize research and my personal life,” she added. “Instead of working around the clock, since I was working from home, I treated my PhD like a 9-to-5 job – sometimes a 9-to-2, even – which allowed me to take care of myself mentally while also increasing productivity. Even as the world returns to ‘normal,’ I’ve retained this change to achieve work-life balance.”
Whittaker earned her MPH from Brown University in 2015 after receiving her BA in public health there the previous year. She came to YSPH in 2018, interested in researching the intersection of race, health, and history, and how social, structural, and political processes impact the health of marginalized communities, especially Black communities.
YSPH, she said, has profoundly shaped her development as a scholar. During her time here, she has earned two competitive grants: the National Institutes of Health’s Ruth L. Kirschstein Predoctoral Individual National Research Service Award (a/k/a the F31) , and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Health Policy Research Scholars Fellowship . She has also collaborated with researchers from various disciplines on three first-authored published manuscripts.
In addition, Whittaker helps other students acclimate to YSPH as a diversity fellow with the Office of Student Development and Diversity. This is where she said her most significant contribution to YSPH took place: helping create a space for underrepresented students and advocating for them.
“It was here that I learned what type of scholar I wanted to be,” she said. “I came to understand that while the path to impactful science often involves challenges, the privilege of contributing to knowledge production is one I deeply appreciate.”
Whittaker said that every professor she’s had at YSPH has helped shape her, Three in particular stand out. Danya Keene , associate professor of social and behavioral sciences, was Whittaker’s advisor and guided her through the intricacies of research. Trace Kershaw , SBS department chair and Susan Dwight Bliss Professor of Public Health (Social and Behavioral Sciences), “consistently offered unwavering support” in her six years here. Carolyn Roberts , assistant professor of history of medicine and science of medicine, and of African American studies, was a valued mentor. “Her guidance emphasized the importance of exploring beyond the boundaries of my discipline,” Whittaker said.
Whittaker is exploring all the options available to her after graduation, but that journey will begin with a postdoctoral fellowship at the Center for Innovation in Social Science at Boston University. She said she will miss having as much access to “my YSPH family,” but that she’s looking forward to experiencing life “beyond the PhD bubble.”
Whittaker leaves YSPH with one important piece of advice for the students following her: “Resist being molded.”
“Academia takes a one-size-fits all approach, which does not always work because we all exist within our own context,” she said. “Who do you want to be? What kind of research do you want to do? I think before starting a program you should ask yourself those questions and make sure to check in with yourself as often as possible to stay grounded and remain true to who you are. Also, surround yourself with people who will always bring you back to you.”

During civil twilight the geometric center of the sun is between 0 and 6 degrees below the horizon. Objects are clearly distinguished without artificial light.
During nautical twilight the center of the sun is between 6 and 12 degrees below the horizon. Sailors can navigate, using a visible horizon as reference.
During astronomical twilight the center of the sun is between 12 and 18 degrees below the horizon. Between the end of astronomical twilight in the evening and the beginning of astronomical twilight in the morning, the sky is dark enough for all astronomical observations.
