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 2009. 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.”

Larry SchroederMPA 1986DPA 2008

“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.”

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.

Page 4: 12032750-CBPM-BROCH DPA e

CourseworkThe 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 WorksThe 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 ModelThe 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.

Philosophical OverviewThe University of La Verne’s Doctorate

in Public Administration program assists

professionals who are motivated to improve

their leadership, management, and decision-

making 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 ValuesLa 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 lead-

ership. 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 PractitionerThe 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 StudentThe 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.

Page 6: 12032750-CBPM-BROCH DPA e

Course DeliveryAll 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.

6

The IntensivesThree 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.

DissertationIn 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.
