Case Study: Challenges and Changes in the Environment

The Department of Political Science at Valdosta State University is reviewing the Masters of Public Administration program.  The goal of the review is to improve the position of one of the department’s flagship programs, in the face of increased competitions, budgetary challenges, and organizational changes at the University level.  You have been asked to perform a SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats) analysis.  To do so, you may utilize any resources available to you (i.e., university assessment reports, department reports, personal experiences, other students, faculty, administrators, etc…).  The purpose of the analysis should provide an inventory of the positive and negative aspects of the program both currently and potentially in the future, and plans of actions for improving upon these areas.
