La Follette's two primary degree programs — the Master of Public Affairs and the Master of International Public Affairs— attract students with backgrounds in political science, international affairs, and economics, and those with undergraduate majors in business, history, English, and communications. While some students enter La Follette directly from college, others arrive with several years of experience in government or the private sector.
The small size and the diversity of the student body is an attractive feature of La Follette public affairs education. The flexibility of the curriculum allows students to choose among the many courses offered by all departments at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
