Master Of Liberal Study In Public Administration

Beau Blevins came to speak at Emory and Henry College on September 14th of 2015. Right from the beginning he was impressive. Before he began his lecture, he made a point to introduce himself to every single person in the room. This made him more personal and easy to talk to, obviously a skill that has served it 's use during his career.

While in Accelerated Masters Program at SPEA I plan on studying and receiving a masters in Public Affairs. I believe this program will enhance my abilities not only as a student but also as a employee. This program is something that has peaked my interest since I have learned about it and I strongly believe due to this program’s success that it will position me ahead of other graduates from other universities.

As a representative for the company that I work for now, I routinely use critical thinking to help my customers solve problems. Earning a Master of Business Administration degree will instill confidence in my customers as well as myself. In addition, I plan to pursue a teaching position at the college level in either Bethel University’s adult learners program or Jackson State Community College Industrial Technology Program. I believe it is important to invest in our communities that we live in, whether it be monetary or the giving of our own

Aside from those difficulties, another challenge supporters of this issue face, is a difference of opinion regarding the courses or programs necessary to raise the educational standard for police officers. For instance, professor and chair at John Jay College of Criminal Justice, Maria Haberfeld, feels that critical thinking and strong communication are “skills that can be learned” to help police officers do their jobs (Townes, 2015). She also believes that courses “specifically geared toward the police profession should be the standard” (2015). Mike Aamodt, author and Radford University professor, has agreed with the President’s Commission on Law Enforcement Administration (COLEA) and the National Advisory Commission on Criminal Justice Standards and Goals that the educational standards for police officers should be raised, and contends that other law-enforcement organizations have recommended that law-enforcement agencies revisit their educational standards. However in contrast to Haberfeld’s assessment, Aamodt asserts “a criminal justice degree is no more beneficial than degrees in other areas… and instead, research should emphasize why people with a college degree tend to be better officers” (Townes, 2015).

The purpose for seeking a Master Degree in Global Studies and International Relation is to expand my knowledge on the different ways capitalism, democracy, nationalism, and socialism is affecting the human rights of the world. With this knowledge, I would be able to have an in-depth understanding on how cross-cultural is affecting our world and how one can fix the problem. I will also be able to give a voice for those that do not have a voice. Like my mom was the voice for me throughout school because of my learn disability and because she was my voice I was able to excel and do better than most people ever through possible.

Because of my interest in international relations, I focused on social sciences. During my four years of undergraduate studies, I earned two major degrees in Political Science with an emphasis on international relations and History with an emphasis on U.S. foreign policy. I was also achieved two minor degrees in Military Science and Asian Studies. While I have worked in the private sector, working as an assistant manager for a nursing registry company part time during school and full time between receiving my Bachelors and assuming Active Duty, I opted a career in the public sector. These experiences give me unique perspective on how to achieve goals, manage resources and personnel, and how these choices impact the overall end state.

The experience I have gained throughout the years has been invaluable and has also helped me realize that to invest in myself is the best thing I could do to achieve greater impact in the communities I care about most. I am at a time in my career where to open up additional opportunity I need to advance my education. The NYU Wagner EMPA for Public Service Leaders and Managers has outstanding faculty who have worked in both the public, private and civil sectors who bring a wide range of viewpoints and expertise and also have a keen understanding of the way the world works and the potential that exists for good. At the same time the program offers the opportunity to build my policy expertise and knowledge, which is key to adding to the national discourse in a meaningful and thoughtful way that advances the field. The EMPA programs also offers critical management and leadership skills that will help position me to successfully take on the more impactful leadership roles I am interested in such as leading a foundation, serving in government at a

One of my life time goals has been to earn a doctoral degree and have been working towards that goal since graduating high school. My life experiences and personality has lead up to this moment and am more than ready to face the challenges continuing my education brings. I have been known for my voracious appetite for reading and learning new topics. Also, I am a very strong-willed, sometimes even obstinate, which has helped me overcome challenges in my academic career. Moreover, I am a humanist in the philosophical sense that I want my legacy of doing some good in the world. These three characteristics are necessary for going through the rigors of a doctoral program, and I have learned through various life experiences that the best doctoral program for me is in the field of Public Administration concentrating on Law and Public

In 1999 I began my journey into police work when I decided to major in Law Enforcement at Western Oregon University (WOU). In 2003 I graduated from WOU with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Law Enforcement, minoring in Psychology with magna cum laude honors. A30,B5 I have found many ways to apply the combination of leadership and psychology theories I studied to my formal and informal leadership roles within policing.

As a student affairs graduate student, I would like to consider my decisions to pursue my degree. I decided to pursue a master’s in student affairs because of my involvement as an undergraduate student. While in undergraduate, I was involved with Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Campus Activities Board Directors, Student Support Services, Student Government Association, Residential Housing, and the Department of Student Developments. Pursuing a Master’s degree has always been an interest of mines, but I never knew what degree to pursue. While working as a student worker for the department of student activities, I gained a love for the college campus environment. This love led to my decision to pursue a master’s in student affairs. Reflecting on the material learning in this course, I would like to think the Chickering’s Seven Vectors and Schlossberg’s Transition Theory has helped me gain more self-awareness about my development and identity. In addition, theories such as: Phinney’s Model of Ethnic Identity Development and Social-Cognitive Theory of Gender Identity Development would be beneficial in my career as a Student Affairs Professional.

Hiring college-educated candidates in the law enforcement field does not guarantee they will be good officers. Being a police officer is hard and to be successful a person has to want to be a police officer. Individuals who receive the required college degree have demonstrated their desire. Desire is something very hard to evaluate, but such an important trait. If all other qualities are equal, the college graduate with a four –year degree should be hired as a police officer before one who does not have the degree (Police Chief David Owens, 2012)

I have a bachelor degree in political science. Even though, I studied the importance of public service, it was not as effective as when I started the MPA program at FAU. My experience in this program made me grew and think more about my role as a future public administrator, which is to serve the public with respect, efficiency, and to promote democratic values

Through my personal and work experiences, I have had an opportunity to develop and strengthen my core values. These core values are duty, resourcefulness, change, and commitment. In this reflection paper, I will first identify my core values as I currently see them, and provide information as to their background, third define my current career goals, and lastly, explain how these core values and my pursuit of a Master 's in Public Administration at DePaul University School of Service call on to my current career goals.

Deciding to go back to college was simple, just a few years of some college classes and I would have that ever elusive Bachelor’s degree – my first eight weeks of college, not as simple! Learning the materials taught in my courses has not only provided me with information about leadership, organizations and information technology, it has taught me so much about myself that I am changing my degree and career goals in order to find a career path that focuses on my strengths in leadership, communication and problem solving.
