The Marxe School of Public and International Affairs delivers undergraduate and graduate degrees in public policy and administration.
The Austin W. Marxe School of Public and International Affairs has the largest public affairs faculty in the nation. Over 1,000 students are studying public affairs.
The School has established an outstanding record since its founding in 1994. It has the single most diverse student body of all full time graduate programs in public administration in the United States, according to the Association for Public Policy Analysis and Management (APPAM). The faculty are routinely cited in the press, consulted by government offices, foundations and nonprofit organizations, and published in the leading academic journals. Undergraduate and graduate public affairs students have gone on to rewarding careers as leaders and policy makers in education, health policy, government, and nonprofit management. The School’s research centers are at the cutting edge of public policy analysis.
Civic leaders and top executives are regularly invited on campus to interact with public affairs students. The speakers have included current and former members of Congress, governors, mayors, state legislators, city council members, nonprofit managers, entrepreneurs, and public policy scholars.
The School is housed in a renovated 1920’s courthouse at the corner of 22 Street and Lexington Avenue at the nexus of the historical Gramercy Park and Flatiron neighborhoods of New York City. The midtown Manhattan location connects the student body to thousands of nearby nonprofits, the nation's largest public school system, the United Nations, and hundreds of city, state and federal agencies.
The mission of the Austin W. Marxe School of Public and International Affairs and its degree programs is to empower the next generation of public and nonprofit leaders, advance knowledge about public life and policy, and engage communities across our city, nation, and world to foster effective, inclusive institutions and societies.
