The School of Public Affairs educates students in the fields of government, political science, regional analysis, public policy and public administration in preparation for law school, graduate school and rewarding careers in federal, state and local government, nonprofit organizations and the private sector. The School of Public Affairs also houses Morehead State University's Program of Distinction: the Institute for Regional Analysis and Public Policy (IRAPP). IRAPP integrates university resources with regional resources to develop the potential of our service region. Academic programs, research initiatives and service activities connect MSU faculty and students in partnerships with citizens, political leaders and policymakers to promote the sustainable development of our region.
In addition to providing outstanding undergraduate and graduate education, the faculty and staff in the School of Public Affairs conduct research and perform outreach in areas such as national security, foreign policy, international relations, public health, environmental monitoring and restoration, hazards, GIS, political philosophy, public law, intergovernmental relations, federalism and economic development. The School of Public Affairs offers undergraduate and graduate scholarships and research assistantships, exciting internship and travel opportunities and the chance to work closely with distinguished faculty from a wide range of backgrounds.
