Building on a 1995 survey of NASPAA member schools, the author is able to identify a small number of schools that (a) require MPA students to complete an ethics course, and (b) have had this requirement in place for at least five years. MPA alumni who graduated (1990-1995) from four participating schools that meet these criteria were surveyed in 1996. The survey results indicate that ethics education is having a positive influence on the graduates of these programs but that other factors are also influential. Perhaps most importantly, the data suggest that the ethical environment of the educational program must be taken into account in order to obtain a more complete understanding of ethics education outcomes. - Reproduced
