List of Public Administration Dissertation Topics
Being a grad student is hard on its own. There is so much pressure and responsibilities that just fall on your shoulders. However, as all of your hard work was not enough to graduate, you also must complete one final paper. Now, a dissertation is no ordinary paper. First, it should demonstrate all the skills and knowledge that a grad student accommodated during their years of studies. Next, it should be informative and valuable for academia. Hence, a student should come up with a unique and original idea.
Choosing between great public administration dissertation topics is not an easy task. Though, it’s possible. All you need is a good approach and determination. Also, if you ever hit the dead end, you can always look for some tips and suggestions online. This guide is one of such online helpers. Let’s see what it has to offer.
What Is Public Administration?
So, public administration is responsible for all the governing systems of a state. It is the area that helps to organize and coordinate government operations. This discipline is essential for the healthy functioning of states and cities. It brings order and control to the system. However, this area also has numerous responsibilities which are hard to remember at first. This is because it operates on multiple levels and covers so many various structures and fields. Overall, this area of study can give you limitless ideas to write about.
How to Choose Topics in Public Administration
Choosing ideas for paper writing is never an easy task. It requires a lot of time, effort, and erudition. Hence, first of all, each graduate student should be well aware of current public administration issues. Students should show their deep knowledge of the issues they are describing. So, when choosing, you can first pick the area of study you feel most comfortable at; for example, it can be immigration, healthcare, drug control, or else.
Next, think of the issues that you are most interested to talk about or that seem to be most relevant at the moment. Can you bring something new to the discussion? Will your work change the perception of those issues? Can it be the ground for further research and exploration? Your goal here is to create a meaningful and useful piece of work that other scholars can further use in their writing. It’s not only about grades anymore but about being of use to your fellow colleagues.
Yet, your idea can even come from your previous essays. For instance, you can easily look for public administration research paper topics and use them for your graduation work. The only difference between them is that the latter should have a more narrow and nuanced take on things.
Dissertation Topics in the U.S. Public Administration
As you are approaching this life-changing decision (yes, we mean choosing a dissertation topic ), you deserve to have some help along the way. All your hard work and hours of studying have ultimately led to this one final academic paper. It has to be perfect.
Here are some ideas on public administration thesis topics. Hopefully, they will inspire you to write and create. Good luck!

Conditional admission is not available to applicants who require "F" or "J" visas.
Degree Requirements
The Master of Public Administration (M.P.A.) degree with a major in Public Administration requires 39 semester credit hours, including a thesis. All students will be required to complete a thesis and an oral defense of the thesis.
Students who have not completed a statistics course in the last five years with a grade of B or better will be required to take PA 5311 as a required elective. Students who do not have administrative experience must take PA 5389 Internship in Government. The internship can be waived by sending documentation of administrative experience directly to the M.P.A. director.
Course Requirements
Students registering for PA 5399A must prepare a thesis proposal under the guidance of a thesis chair that includes a statement of the problem, literature review, theoretical framework, research design, data collection procedures, and a representative bibliography. Upon successful completion of PA 5399A , students may register for PA 5399B with thesis chair approval.
Comprehensive Examination Requirement
An oral defense of the thesis in front of a committee of faculty and practitioners will serve as the comprehensive examination requirement. If a student does not successfully defend the thesis in the first attempt, one subsequent chance to defend the thesis will be provided after the student satisfactorily addresses every suggestion for improvement made by the thesis committee.
Students who do not successfully complete the requirements for the degree within the timelines specified will be dismissed from the program.
If a student elects to follow the thesis option for the degree, a committee to direct the written thesis will be established. The thesis must demonstrate the student’s capability for research and independent thought. Preparation of the thesis must be in conformity with the Graduate College Guide to Preparing and Submitting a Thesis or Dissertation .
Thesis Proposal
The student must submit an official Thesis Proposal Form and proposal to his or her thesis committee. Thesis proposals vary by department and discipline. Please see your department for proposal guidelines and requirements. After signing the form and obtaining committee members’ signatures, the graduate advisor’s signature if required by the program and the department chair’s signature, the student must submit the Thesis Proposal Form with one copy of the proposal attached to the dean of The Graduate College for approval before proceeding with research on the thesis. If the thesis research involves human subjects, the student must obtain exemption or approval from the Texas State Institutional Review Board prior to submitting the proposal form to The Graduate College. The IRB approval letter should be included with the proposal form. If the thesis research involves vertebrate animals, the proposal form must include the Texas State IACUC approval code. It is recommended that the thesis proposal form be submitted to the dean of The Graduate College by the end of the student’s enrollment in 5399A. Failure to submit the thesis proposal in a timely fashion may result in delayed graduation.
Thesis Committee
The thesis committee must be composed of a minimum of three approved graduate faculty members.
Thesis Enrollment and Credit
The completion of a minimum of six hours of thesis enrollment is required. For a student's initial thesis course enrollment, the student will need to register for thesis course number 5399A. After that, the student will enroll in thesis B courses, in each subsequent semester until the thesis is defended with the department and approved by The Graduate College. Preliminary discussions regarding the selection of a topic and assignment to a research supervisor will not require enrollment for the thesis course.
Students must be enrolled in thesis credits if they are receiving supervision and/or are using university resources related to their thesis work. The number of thesis credit hours students enroll in must reflect the amount of work being done on the thesis that semester. It is the responsibility of the committee chair to ensure that students are making adequate progress toward their degree throughout the thesis process. Failure to register for the thesis course during a term in which supervision is received may result in postponement of graduation. After initial enrollment in 5399A, the student will continue to enroll in a thesis B course as long as it takes to complete the thesis. Thesis projects are by definition original and individualized projects. As such, depending on the topic, methodology, and other factors, some projects may take longer than others to complete. If the thesis requires work beyond the minimum number of thesis credits needed for the degree, the student may enroll in additional thesis credits at the committee chair's discretion. In the rare case when a student has not previously enrolled in thesis and plans to work on and complete the thesis in one term, the student will enroll in both 5399A and 5399B.
The only grades assigned for thesis courses are PR (progress), CR (credit), W (withdrew), and F (failing). If acceptable progress is not being made in a thesis course, the instructor may issue a grade of F. If the student is making acceptable progress, a grade of PR is assigned until the thesis is completed. The minimum number of hours of thesis credit (“CR”) will be awarded only after the thesis has been both approved by The Graduate College and released to Alkek Library.
A student who has selected the thesis option must be registered for the thesis course during the term or Summer I (during the summer, the thesis course runs ten weeks for both sessions) in which the degree will be conferred.
Thesis Deadlines and Approval Process
Thesis deadlines are posted on The Graduate College website under "Current Students." The completed thesis must be submitted to the chair of the thesis committee on or before the deadlines listed on The Graduate College website.
The following must be submitted to The Graduate College by the thesis deadline listed on The Graduate College website:
- The Thesis Submission Approval Form bearing original (wet) and/or electronic signatures of the student and all committee members.
- One (1) PDF of the thesis in final form, approved by all committee members, uploaded in the online Vireo submission system.
After the dean of The Graduate College approves the thesis, Alkek Library will harvest the document from the Vireo submission system for publishing in the Digital Collections database (according to the student's embargo selection). NOTE: MFA Creative Writing theses will have a permanent embargo and will never be published to Digital Collections.
While original (wet) signatures are preferred, there may be situations as determined by the chair of the committee in which obtaining original signatures is inefficient or has the potential to delay the student's progress. In those situations, the following methods of signing are acceptable:
- signing and faxing the form
- signing, scanning, and emailing the form
- notifying the department in an email from their university's or institution's email account that the committee chair can sign the form on their behalf
- electronically signing the form using the university's licensed signature platform.
If this process results in more than one document with signatures, all documents need to be submitted to The Graduate College together.
No copies are required to be submitted to Alkek Library. However, the library will bind copies submitted that the student wants bound for personal use. Personal copies are not required to be printed on archival quality paper. The student will take the personal copies to Alkek Library and pay the binding fee for personal copies.
