Abstract

A purpose of the Master of Public Administration (MPA) program is to translate theory into practical concepts to prepare leaders of the public and nonprofit sectors. The practice continues to employ entrepreneurial activities throughout the world. The academy has researched, written, and published extensively about entrepreneurship to build knowledge. The author pulled together aspects of the research to build an applicable framework for entrepreneurship—presenting, publishing, and designing an MPA course. This paper discusses that journey. The author sought to find the extent of similar courses in other accredited programs. The findings did not reveal widespread dissemination of entrepreneurship courses. An unintended finding shows that core course offerings appeared to be largely unchanged for decades. Is it time to “reinvent” the MPA program?

公共管理硕士(MPA)课程的目的是将理论转化为实践概念，为公共和非营利部门的领导者做好准备。这种做法继续在世界各地采用企业活动。该学院对企业家精神进行了广泛的研究、撰写和出版，以积累知识。作者将研究的各个方面结合起来，构建了一个适用于企业家精神的框架——展示、出版和设计MPA课程。本文讨论了这段历程。作者试图找到类似的课程，在其他认可方案的程度。调查结果并未显示创业课程的广泛传播。一个意想不到的发现表明，核心课程设置几十年来似乎基本没有变化。是时候“重塑”MPA项目了吗?

期刊介绍： Teaching Public Administration (TPA) is a peer-reviewed journal, published three times a year, which focuses on teaching and learning in public sector management and organisations. TPA is committed to publishing papers which promote critical thinking about the practice and process of teaching and learning as well as those which examine more theoretical and conceptual models of teaching and learning. It offers an international forum for the debate of a wide range of issues relating to how skills and knowledge are transmitted and acquired within public sector/not for profit organisations. The Editors welcome papers which draw upon multi-disciplinary ways of thinking and working and, in particular, we are interested in the following themes/issues: Learning from international practice and experience; Curriculum design and development across all levels from pre-degree to post graduate including professional development; Professional and Taught Doctoral Programmes; Reflective Practice and the role of the Reflective Practitioner; Co-production and co-construction of the curriculum; Developments within the ‘Public Administration’ discipline; Reviews of literature and policy statements.
