Historical NoteReturn to Top

The Evergreen State College-Master's in Public Administration-Tribal Governance Concentration began in 2002. Classes meet Friday evenings, all day Saturday and Sunday intensive weekend formats. Students take two years of Core courses (4 hours/quarter) typically with their cohort and 36 hours of electives, culminating in a 4 hour Capstone (or optional thesis). A new cohort is admitted into the program every other year, producing a graduating cohort biennially. Course work emphasizes the study of collaboration in intergovernmental relations and policy analysis within the field of public administration. Particular focus of this program is on the context of tribal administration and governance. The range of studies includes the important role of non-profits, political and social structures that affect administrative decision-making. The program is broadly conceived within the range of intergovernmental studies, local, tribal, regional, national, and international levels of its political and economic context. Faculty members Linda Moon Stumpff and Alan Parker were instrumental in starting the program during the period of Provost Barbara Leigh Smith's tenure.

In 2004, the first graduating class for the MPA-Tribal Governance Concentration track joined the commencement ceremony activities along with the general cohort.

Content DescriptionReturn to Top

This records group consists of letters of invitations (for institutes and symposiums), letters of appreciation; program: proposals, reviews, descriptions, planning documents, published documentation of the program; grant forms and applications; notes from meetings, lectures and quest presentations; audio/visual recordings; co-director description; Higher Education Coordinating Board new program approval and agenda report; congressional testimonials; Board of Trustees meeting minutes; program surveys; syllabus, descriptions and letters of support; also included in this records group are numerous papers on tribal governance from 1999 - 2012 for the Master's in Public Administration Tribal Concentration Program at The Evergreen State College.

The documentation within this accession provides evidence that the program is well matched to current strengths of the MPA Program faculty in policy analysis, case history development and political economy. An emphasis on issues of substantial significance to tribal governments adds a multicultural perspective and broadens the range of possible solutions to current prolems that ultimately find their resolution in the arena of intergovernmental and community collaboration. The strengths of the program also support the study of international impacts facing all levels of governments in the areas of labor, public health, environment and international trade. Tribes in WashingtonState carry primary land management responsibility for about 6.5 million acres, natural resource activities are important to tribal economies and cultural presevation; tribal activity required high levels of managerial competence and planning in order to work collaboratively within the complex arena of state and federal regulation. Public Administration bridges the gap between planning, environmental law, policy and developing the administrative apparatus needed for building sustainable communities. This program addresses these areas within the curriculum.
