  • James B. Steinberg, JD, Dean
  • Robert H. Wilson, PhD, Associate Dean

The Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs offers the Master of Global Policy Studies, the Master of Public Affairs, and the Doctor of Philosophy with a major in public policy. Information is given in the Graduate Catalog about the school's graduate programs and about the requirements for admission to graduate study.

In addition to the graduate public affairs courses described in the Graduate Catalog, the faculty has approval to offer the following courses in the academic years 2008-2009 and 2009-2010; however, not all courses are taught each semester or summer session. Students should consult the Course Schedule to determine which courses and topics will be offered during a particular semester or summer session. The Course Schedule may also reflect changes made to the course inventory after the publication of this catalog.

A full explanation of course numbers is given in General Information. In brief, the first digit of a course number indicates the semester hour value of the course. The second and third digits indicate the rank of the course: if they are 01 through 19, the course is of lower-division rank; if 20 through 79, of upper-division rank; if 80 through 99, of graduate rank.
