This administrative position is an exciting opportunity to advance four interdisciplinary degree programs at the nation’s largest comprehensive public service college through teaching, curriculum development, and program oversight.

 

Professors of Practice are fixed-term faculty members with the possibility of year-to-year employment at ASU based on continued excellent performance, the needs of the institution, and availability of funding.

Watts College of Public Service and Community Solutions is the largest consolidated public service college. With four schools and 20 research centers, we are advancing solutions to address complex social problems facing our world today. An essential ingredient of our success is our ability to advance a transdisciplinary approach to public service education and research. To accomplish this goal, we offer four graduate-level interdisciplinary degree programs that are situated across our schools in content areas that require this particular approach. Our master’s degree in emergency management and homeland security integrates content from a variety of fields including public policy and administration, criminology, homeland security, and stress management to prepare emergency managers to respond to disasters and ensure the safety of our local communities. Our master’s in public safety leadership and administration prepares professionals working in police and fire administration to advance in their careers with content focused on leadership, public policy, and emergency services administration. Our master’s degree in program evaluation and data analytics prepares professionals to examine programs happening across public and non-profit sectors to gauge the effectiveness of their work. Finally, our master’s degree in public advocacy prepares students to effectively communicate empirically based public policy strategies to appropriate stakeholders by drawing on analytical and methodological techniques to evaluate such strategies and translate them into demonstrative action.
