Welcome to the Barbara Jordan-Mickey Leland School of Public Affairs (BJML SPA). We offer an excellent opportunity to learn through our undergraduate programs in Administration of Justice, Political Science, and Public Affairs, as well as our graduate programs in Administration of Justice, Public Administration, and Urban Planning and Environmental Policy. At the BJML SPA, the Community is our Classroom.

Our approach to teaching is exciting, innovative, bold, profound, and even provocative. In the BJML SPA, our horizon knows no limits and our future has no boundaries. We are committed to helping to shape the future of urban cities in America and around the world. We will do this through the formulation and dissemination of knowledge, the development of theories and policies, as well as teaching and encouraging critical thinking and focused analyses.
