SPEA Undergraduate
Welcome to the School of Public and Environmental
Affairs (SPEA)
So, what is the School of Public and Environmental
Affairs?
Good question! Our name says a lot about who we are,
what we do, and what you can study here.
SPEA was founded as a response to the needs and
problems of modern society—needs that were not being
addressed by other more traditional schools such as
business, arts and sciences, or political science. Our
scope is wide, and we address such issues as public
finance, nonprofit management, public management,
environmental management, policy analysis, health
administration, criminal justice and arts administration.
Even better, this year we have welcomed several new
faculty members who are already making a difference and
leading our school into the future. You can see who they
are by going here.
The school’s broadening globalization is already being
realized in the expanded programs of studies in several
countries around the world through SPEA Overseas
Education. Additionally, we are strengthening our research
in energy policy, sustainable development, and the
prevention of poverty, and building on traditional strengths
in public finance, management of nonprofit and public
sectors, and arts administration.
Beyond your degree program, SPEA offers many
opportunities to enrich your academic career, such as
the Honors Program, IU in DC program, the Accelerated
Master’s program, and many more. Seek out what speaks
to you to expand your experience here at SPEA!
To us, a public or environmental affair is an issue or
problem that affects the quality of life on this planet for its
citizens. That’s a big list, obviously, and our graduates go
on to jobs in many fields—public, private, and nonprofit.
Overview
The School of Public and Environmental Affairs (SPEA)
is a multidisciplinary division of Indiana University. The
school is organized as a Bloomington-Indianapolis core
campus professional school, committed to teaching,
research, and service. The interests of the faculty and
professional staff typically fall into one or more of the
following areas: policy and administration; sustainable
management and policy; international affairs; finance
and economics; public and nonprofit management; arts
management; urban affairs; environmental science and
policy; criminal justice, law, and public safety; health
science, media and public affairs, administration, and
policy. The school’s faculty, staff, and students work
individually and jointly to solve problems that require
SPEA’s unique combination of in-depth knowledge in the
natural, behavioral, social, and administrative sciences.
SPEA, because of its broad program base, can offer
scientific and technical assistance to Indiana communities.
Public and private organizations, as well as all levels of
government, benefit from the knowledge and expertise of
SPEA faculty, staff, and students.
The School of Public and Environmental Affairs offers
bachelor of science degrees. These programs provide a
sound general education with specialized study of public
safety, criminal justice, public affairs, arts management,
public health, media and public affairs, or environmental
systems. The school also offers minors and certificate

applicable when academic misconduct or dishonesty
occurs are provided in the SPEA Student Honor Code,
and the Code of Student Rights, Responsibilities, and
Conduct. The policy on academic dishonesty is also
published each semester in the Bloomington Enrollment
and Student Academic Information Handbook. At
Indianapolis, this is a basic principle of intellectual life
that holds students responsible for taking credit only for
ideas and efforts that are their own. Academic dishonesty
violates that principle and undermines the bonds of
trust and cooperation among members of the university
community, and it is not tolerated. Academic misconduct
includes cheating, fabrication, plagiarism, interference,
violation of course rules, and facilitating academic
dishonesty. Students are responsible for knowing what
behaviors and activities constitute these different forms
of academic misconduct. Penalties and procedures that
are applicable when academic misconduct or dishonesty
occurs are described in the IUPUI Code of Student Rights,
Responsibilities, and Conduct.
Indianapolis Statement on Civility
SPEA, which is a professional school, expects students
to conduct themselves in a courteous and civil manner
in interactions with professors, staff, and fellow students.
Examples of discourteous behavior during class include
reading the newspaper, working crossword puzzles, using
headphones to listen to music or other non-class items,
using computers to surf the Web or for other non-class
activities, talking or laughing with others, arriving late, and
so forth. These behaviors are distracting to the instructor,
to staff, and to classmates, and SPEA faculty and staff will
address these problems as they arise either in class or
on an individual basis. Disorderly conduct that interferes
with teaching, research, administration, or other university
or university-authorized activity will not be tolerated, and
it may result in disciplinary action, including possible
suspension and/or expulsion from the university.

double-counting limit.
Dual Degrees: Admitted SPEA students earning two
SPEA degrees may double count up to six (6) credit
hours of core or major courses for both degrees.

Degrees Awarded with Distinction
SPEA recognizes outstanding performance by awarding
bachelor's and associate degrees with three levels of
distinction to students. The levels of distinction are as
follows:
highest: 3.90 and above
high: 3.70 through 3.89
distinction: 3.50 through 3.69

students are required to take 30 credit hours beyond the
credits used for the first bachelor's degree and satisfy all
the requirements for the second degree. Generally, SPEA
encourages students to work toward a graduate degree
rather than a second bachelor's degree.
Programs
The Indiana University School of Public and
Environmental Affairs offers a wide range of
undergraduate programs on the Bloomington-Indianapolis
core campuses. The undergraduate degrees are
the Bachelor of Science in Public Affairs (B.S.P.A.),
the Bachelor of Science in Healthcare Management
and Policy (B.S.H.M.), the Bachelor of Science in
Criminal Justice (B.S.C.J.), Bachelor of Science in Arts
Management (B.S.A.M.) and, through a joint program with
the College of Arts and Sciences, a Bachelor of Arts in
Environmental Sustainability (B.A.E.S.), a Bachelor of
Science in Environmental Science (B.S.E.S.). In addition,
the undergraduate program includes minors and certificate
programs.
On July 1, 2008, the Divisions of Public and Environmental
Affairs located on the Fort Wayne, Kokomo, Northwest
(Gary), and East (Richmond) campuses became SPEA
affiliated programs. As affiliated programs these divisions
will continue to offer the SPEA curriculum approved for
their campus; will continue to grant SPEA degrees to
students who fulfill the necessary degree requirements;
and will continue to use the SPEA name for academic
purposes. Courses will continue to be transferable
between the affiliated programs and the Bloomington-
Indianapolis core campus programs. Not all degrees,
minors, and certificates are offered at all campuses.

About the Bachelor of Science Degree Programs
The School of Public and Environmental Affairs
recognizes the complex problems facing our society such
as global climate change, hazardous waste, escalating
health care costs, balance of trade, and international
relations. Through the five bachelor of science degree
programs, the students develop problem-solving abilities
and organizational skills so that they may contribute
possible solutions to these and other problems.
More than ever, people who take on leadership roles
in society—whether as professionals or volunteers—
need formal training in managing staff, fiscal resources,
information, public relations and marketing, and
technology. With its focus on managing resources
and solving problems, the Bachelor of Science in
Public Affairs (B.S.P.A.) degree prepares students for
careers in diverse areas such as federal, state, and
local politics and administration; public policy evaluation;
management consulting; public relations; management
of nonprofit organizations; and monitoring, assessment,
and amelioration of environmental problems—to name
only a few. Majors in the degree program include:
human resource management, management, law and
public policy, public and nonprofit management, policy
analysis, public financial management, and environmental
management. Students who choose to continue
with their education after earning an undergraduate
degree frequently study law, planning, public affairs,
environmental science, or business administration.
There is a critical need for scientists who can incorporate
their expertise into policies that address environmental
concerns, such as global climate change, pollution of
10 April 3, 2017
water and air, conservation of endangered species and
habitats, urban sprawl, and human illnesses caused by
environmental problems. To meet that need, the School
of Public and Environmental Affairs and the College of
Arts and Sciences developed the Bachelor of Science
in Environmental Science (B.S.E.S.) degree, a unique
cooperative program between two leading schools at
Indiana University. Designed as a rigorous interdisciplinary
science curriculum, the degree prepares students either
for direct entry into an environmental science career or for
graduate study in the traditional sciences or environmental
science.
Both government and private organizations are seeking
ways to maintain or improve the quality of health care
in the United States. At the same time, there is an
increasing need to control skyrocketing costs. The
Bachelor of Science in Healthcare Management and
Policy (B.S.H.M.P.) prepares students to meet those
challenges. The major prepares students for health
management careers by developing their organizational,
analytical, managerial, and leadership skills. Graduates
often pursue careers in the public, private, or nonprofit
sector in areas such as public health, environmental
health, health administration, epidemiology, or health
policy and planning. B.S.H.M.P. students have gone on
for post-baccalaureate training in diverse areas such as
public health, health administration, public affairs, law,
business administration, and environmental science and
policy.
Now more than ever, institutions in the arts need a well
trained, dedicated cadre of administrators able to navigate
minefields underlying financial pressures, organizational
constraints, and shifts in competitive entertainment, as
well as consumer interest. The Bachelor of Science in
Arts Management (B.S.A.M.) and Bachelor or Arts in
Environmental Science Studies (B.A.E.S.S) degrees
provides undergraduate students with the background and
skills necessary to function in the management aspects
of the arts industry. Graduates of this degree program
are prepared to seek entry level careers in areas such as:
development and donor relations, marketing, audience
development and public relations, artistic direction
and programming, financial management, volunteer
coordination, arts education, public policy, and advocacy.
Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Public
Affairs

examine the concepts, connections and tensions between
competing policy choices and gain an understanding of
the contradictions inherent in notions of justice, citizenship

Minors
Certificate Programs
Indiana University founded the School of Public and
Environmental Affairs (SPEA) more than 40 years ago to
prepare students to address the issues of modern society
in ways that more traditional schools overlooked. At
SPEA, people learn how to work in government, nonprofit
and business roles to make positive changes in their
communities, their states, their countries and the world.
SPEA graduates lead the organizations that make and
enforce laws, keep communities livable and safe, shape
smart public policy, protect the planet and help our fellow
citizens. Through the combined study of civic leadership,
management, policy studies, public affairs and media,
criminal justice and public safety, SPEA students develop
both the practical and philosophical skills that prepare
them to develop solutions to society's problems.
SPEA Indianapolis offers two bachelor’s degrees: a
Bachelor of Science in Public Affairs (BSPA) and a
Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice (BSCJ).
Within the Public Affairs degree, you can major in Civic
Leadership, Management, Media and Public Affairs, Policy
Studies or Sustainable Management and Policy. BSPA
students learn how to address issues in government and
nonprofit settings and prepare to become leaders in their
communities, organizations and businesses. Careers
for SPEA graduates with a BSPA include legislative
staffer, urban planner, director of a nonprofit, lobbyist
or financial or policy analyst. Others work in public
affairs or government affairs for private companies or
nonprofits. Still other BSPA graduates continue their
educations in law, planning, public affairs or environmental
management.
Within Criminal Justice, you can major in Criminal Justice
or Public Safety Management.
The Criminal Justice major gives students a broad and
layered understanding of the history, operations and
implications of criminal justice in America. You will be
trained to address pressing societal needs related to law
enforcement, the judicial system, corrections and national
security. With a BSCJ in Criminal Justice, you might work
in law enforcement management at the local, state and
federal levels, as well as in the courts, prisons and victim
advocacy programs.
The Public Safety Management major covers the
administration of emergency services, the principles
of public safety and the art of decision-making. Public
Safety Management graduates work in public safety
agencies as well as private companies that focus on public
management, emergency services, solid and hazardous
waste management, public health and more.
Both majors are also excellent preparation for pursuing
graduate studies in law or criminal justice.
More information can be found at http://bulletin.iupui.edu/.
Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Public
Affairs
Students pursuing the Bachelor of Science in Public
Affairs (B.S.P.A.) may major in Civic Leadership, Media
and Public Affairs, Management, Policy Studies, or
Sustainable Management and Policy. Public Affairs majors
focus on how we provide for our citizen, making our
communities better places to live, work and raise a family.
Public Affairs students study and analyze government
policies, and learn how to manage government and
nonprofit organizations.
32 April 3, 2017
A Civic Leadership major teaches students how
individuals and organizations can work together to
provide for their communities. Graduates often work
in public service roles - leading businesses, nonprofit
organizations or government agencies. This major
is ideal for pre-law student, or students interested in
advocacy or community leadership.
Media and Public Affairs gives students an in-
depth understanding of governance plus the skills
needed to use today's media to communicate to
customers, constituents, employees, supporters,
opponents and the many other audiences involved
in shaping effective public policy. Students
who major in Media and Public Affairs will be
prepared for careers as public information officers;
government affairs personnel for private or nonprofit
organizations; public administrators at the local,
state, and federal level; lobbyists; representatives
of trade organizations; and reporters for various
media on the subjects of public affairs, public
administration, public policy personnel and
decisions. This major teaches anyone who intends
to go in to management (public, private or nonprofit)
or who will work in the policy area, when and how
to deploy traditional and new media tools to achieve
their goals.
A Management major teaches some of the things
you'd learn in a business school, but you get the
additional benefit of leaning how public agencies
and nonprofit organizations operate. This holistic
approach helps graduates move seamlessly
between business, nonprofit and government
management roles.
A Policy Studies major prepares students to
analyze and assess the usefulness of existing and
proposed laws. This major emphasizes critical
thinking skills. Graduates often go on to law
school or directly into positions in government or
government relations.
A major gives students a solid understanding of
public affairs, finance, policy-making and civic
engagement, combined with specialized classes
in the principles of sustainability, environmental
justice and green technologies. Graduates of
the program will find employment in the growing
field of sustainability by assuming community
and government roles, working for environmental
nonprofit groups, owning or managing “green”
businesses, and conducting research and legislative
analysis. This major is also an excellent choice for a
pre-law student.
