Public affairs specialists generally go on to manage complex partnerships that involve a wide array of participants. Public administration education ought to do its part to ensure these graduates succeed. In this sense, we offer comparative public administration (CPA) as an effective, multipurpose tool for disassembling public monuments to parochialism and sculpting competent practitioners that reflect our stated desires for a more inclusive orientation. First, we seek to define CPA and consider its relative importance. Next, we assess how CPA is currently taught in Master of Public Administration (MPA) programs within the United States. The focus then shifts to discussing how MPA programs should be teaching CPA and proposes learning outcomes. Finally, we offer tools for attaining these outcomes.}, journal={JOURNAL OF PUBLIC AFFAIRS EDUCATION}, author={Leight, Matthew D. and Abbott, Michaela}, year={2022}, month={May} }

In a professionalizing and diverse nonprofit sector, we were curious to ask nonprofit workers about the skills and competencies they need for their work. Applying a survey design, we asked nonprofit workers about the skills and abilities they used in their work relative to general professional and nonprofit curricular standards. In our findings, we explore differences according to the professional profiles to make sense of the sector’s diverse workforce. Our assessment supplies fresh insight into the competencies nonprofit education promotes, describing how nonprofit professionals view the skills needed for their work, and how they think about professional development. The findings inform those who teach or administer nonprofit degree programs, as well as those who work or want to work in the nonprofit sector.}, number={4}, journal={JOURNAL OF NONPROFIT EDUCATION AND LEADERSHIP}, publisher={Sagamore Publishing, LLC}, author={Melville-Holder, Jo'Ann L. and Lawrence, Kara and Leight, Matthew D. and Johnson, Brad A. and Stewart, Amanda J.}, year={2022}, pages={1–19} }

Although the Network of Schools of Public Policy, Affairs, and Administration (NASPAA) has been accrediting Master of Public Administration (MPA) programs since 1980, its reach has not yet covered undergraduate programs. Rather, NASPAA provides guidelines for undergraduate programs that departments may choose to follow or ignore at their leisure. This chapter explores the issue of undergraduate accreditation for public administration programs in the United States. Particular attention is paid toward the nature of accreditation of undergraduate education and the various models of accreditation that public administration programs may adopt. It also explores the value that program accreditation would bring some of the concerns surrounding it.}, booktitle={Undergraduate Public Affairs Education}, publisher={Routledge}, author={McDonald, Bruce D. and Decker, J.W. and Leight, Matthew D. and Abbott, Michaela}, year={2021}, month={Sep}, pages={103–118} }
