ENGAGING STUDENTS
Guided by an award-winning teaching faculty, SPIA students
engage in active learning about politics, public affairs, governance,
and international relations. Through classroom simulations,
internships, guest speakers, study abroad programs, interactions
with alumni, research collaborations, and student organizations,
SPIA offers students the kinds of experiential and classroom learning
opportunities that position them for careers in both the public and
private sectors.
ENGAGING SCHOLARSHIP
SPIA’s faculty members are internationally known for innovative and influential scholarship that informs policy makers and citizens about the dynamic
world of politics and public affairs. Home to three academic departments, two specialized academic centers, and six academic journals, SPIA produces
research and publications across a broad range of fields from nuclear nonproliferation and national security to party polarization in Congress.
ENGAGING THE WORLD
SPIA students and faculty engage the world beyond the classroom through an active
program of public service and outreach nationally and internationally. In partnership
with public service units such as the Carl Vinson Institute of Government, SPIA
faculty and students work to enhance the effectiveness of local, national and foreign
governments and nonprofit organizations. Through its centers, SPIA works to reduce
the threat of nuclear and other weapons of mass destruction, while its study abroad
programs provide students with numerous opportunities to study internationally.
SPIA faculty and students have an impact in every corner of the globe.

HISTORY AND MISSION
Inaugurated in 2001 as the University of Georgia’s fourteenth
college, SPIA was formed from the existing Department of
Political Science in the Franklin College of Arts and Sciences.
The School’s founders believed that creating a separate school to
focus on public and international affairs would bring enhanced
recognition to the University and create a special institutional
home for students interested in careers in public service.
Created at the start of the twenty-first century, SPIA was viewed
as “a new school for a new millennium,” designed to enhance
civic engagement, public leadership, scholarship on political
institutions and policy, and effective governance.
Emerging at a critical time in US history, SPIA’s existence since
2001 has coincided with public policy challenges and threats to
democratic governance. Terrorist attacks, war, biological threats,
financial crises, and political gridlock have undermined faith in the
political process or reduced citizens’ optimism about the future.
These challenges cannot be overcome without effective public
servants and an informed electorate; SPIA’s mission is thus critical
to the nation’s future. Now, more than ever, the nation and the
world require scholars and students to focus their attention on the
pressing policy and governance issues of the day.

POLITICAL SCIENCE
The Department of Political Science was founded in 1941 as part
of UGA’s Franklin College of Arts and Sciences, and transferred to
the new School of Public and International Affairs in 2001. As it
approaches its 75th anniversary, the department claims an awardwinning faculty and an extensive alumni network throughout
Georgia and the nation. The Political Science faculty members
are known for their influential research in areas such as political
institutions, legislative behavior, political polarization, interest
groups, public opinion, campaigns and elections, voting rights,
Southern politics, judicial decision-making, state politics, political
methodology, and political theory. With offices in Baldwin Hall,
the Political Science Department includes 22 faculty members,
650 undergraduate students, and 32 graduate students.
BALDWIN HALL EXPANSION AND RENOVATION
Built in 1938, Baldwin Hall has served as a Navy Pre-Flight school during
World War II and home to several UGA academic programs. The new
Baldwin Hall Annex — to be completed in 2016 — will provide SPIA
with Technology Enabled Active Learning (TEAL) classrooms; office
space for faculty and graduate teaching assistants; and common areas
for faculty, staff, and students. In addition to the new Annex for SPIA,
Baldwin Hall will be renovated to provide academic departments with
modern instructional facilities, greater accessibility for individuals with
disabilities, and a more efficient mechanical system.
10
INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
The Department of International Affairs was established in 2001
with the founding of the School of Public and International
Affairs. Acknowledging the key importance of an educational
program at the international level, SPIA’s founders created a worldclass department offering instructional, research, and public service
programs focusing on international relations and comparative
politics. Faculty members in the Department of International Affairs
have been recognized for their outstanding research, teaching,
and mentoring, and have received many awards, such as the
International Studies Association’s Distinguished Scholar Award,
the UGA Center for Undergraduate Research Opportunities
Mentoring Award, and the UGA Blue Key Service Award. With
offices in Candler Hall, the Department of International Affairs
includes 16 faculty members, 750 undergraduate students, and 70
graduate students.
11
PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION AND POLICY
The Department of Public Administration and Policy is a world
leader in preparing students for managerial and policy analyst
careers in public service and in nonprofit organizations, as well
as for careers in academia, while emphasizing the professional
values of ethics and accountability. Its faculty includes five current
members of the National Academy of Public Administration (a
Congressionally-chartered organization), as well as the current
President of the Network of Schools of Public Policy, Affairs,
and Administration, the accrediting organization for programs
in public administration. Alumni of the department’s degree
programs are leaders in public and nonprofit affairs, in universities,
and in top research centers both in the US and internationally. The
department’s work and activities reach six continents and address
issues of governance at every level. With offices in Baldwin Hall,
the Department of Public Administration and Policy includes 15
faculty members and over 160 graduate students.

to protect citizens from the proliferation of nuclear, chemical,
and biological materials that make up the components of
weapons of mass destruction. CITS pursues its mission by
engaging and informing policymakers, industry representatives,
educators, students, and the general public, both in the United
States and abroad, about the dangers of trade in, and theft of,
