Established in 1970, the Lyndon B. Johnson (LBJ) School of Public Affairs strives to prepare students for careers in which they will make a difference in the world. This was the goal and vision of its namesake, who believed that the school should combine academic studies with opportunities to develop practical experience in the field. This approach is now considered the accepted model for graduate-level public affairs programs.
Along with training future leaders, the LBJ School of Public Affairs maintains a focus on advancing scholarship and promoting effective practice while encouraging civic engagement. Over the course of its history, it has graduated more than 4,000 students. As a testament to the quality of its education, the LBJ School of Public Affairs has garnered recognition from U.S. News & World Report as one of the top graduate-level public affairs programs in the country.
