A dynamic blend of experienced educators and internationally recognized practitioners, Romney MPA faculty are as committed to individual student monitoring as they are to researching, teaching, and publishing in their respective fields. The faculty consist of full-time members of the Romney Institute, additional Marriott School faculty who teach specialty courses, and select adjunct professors who are highly regarded practitioners in their fields. MPA students enjoy an interactive relationship not found at most graduate schools. With small class sizes, Romney MPA faculty are also able to provide extensive feedback on students’ individual work and, in some cases, collaborate on research projects and field studies. Close mentoring relationships often develop as students pursue specialization in various areas of public management.
The seasoned educators and professionals of the Romney Institute bring to the program diverse training and backgrounds in city management, taxation, community development, banking, survey research, community health, legislative staff work, international development, and management consulting. Romney faculty have trained city management in Bangkok, Thailand; taught infrastructure finance in Taiwan; chaired the U.S. National Task Force on Telecommunications Taxation; and pioneered the Journal of Microfinance, the only practitioner and academic journal to deal exclusively with the microfinance movement.
"My experience working with local governments, the International City/County Management Association, and with the National Association of Counties provides a rich set of examples to enhance the classroom experience. Whether these are issues of annexation, consolidation, services delivery, or how we finance local governments they are important and challenging issues our city management students will face after graduation."
