School of Public Affairs In 1973. in recognition of the involvement of Texas Southern University in the many problems of its urban con- stituency, the Texas Legislature designated the University as a special purpose institution of higher education for urban programming. Thus. Texas Southern University was officially wedded to the problems of urban life and the in- ner city, and to the search for solutions to those problems and a better life for its constituents. A direct result of this designation was the creation, in 1974. of the School of Public Affairs as the focal point for the attack on urban problems. The academic aim of this School is to prepare students for entry into the private and public sectors relating to the urban setting by supplying a broad foundation for the student ' s professional career through a specific and innovative program. The School of Public Affairs, accordingly, offers both un- dergraduate and graduate degrees. At the undergraduate level a semi-professional degree — the Bachelor of Science in Public Affairs — will prepare students for mid-manage- ment entry in the public sector. The academic degree — the Bachelor of Arts in Political Studies — will prepare students for graduate studies or for entry into the private or public sector. At the graduate level, two professional degrees are of- feredi the Master of City Planning (M.C.P.) and the Master of Public Administration (M.P.A.). These are professional degrees which will prepare students for entry into the pub- lic and private sectors at higher management levels. A distinctive feature of the undergraduate program in Public Affairs is the opportunity it provides for students to develop academic programs which meet their individual in- tellectual and professional interests. There exists no insti- tution in Texas which offers the four undergraduate areas of specialization: Administration of Justice. Housing Man- agement. Public Service, Health Administration. Additional- ly, no other institution in Texas offers any undergraduate programs in Housing Management of Health Administra- tion.
