American Review of Public AdministrationSummary: This project builds on previous theoretical work that explores the differences between policy analysis and public administration/management approaches to public service education. Using survey data collected from public policy and public administration programs across the country, we test two aspects of public service education that may differ between public administration and public policy students; the psychological dispositions of students who enter each kind of program and the socializing effect of the respective curricula. With some exceptions, we find few differences in either area. Our research casts doubt on many of the preconceived notions of the differences in public policy versus public administration students and has important implications for public service education. - Reproduced
