Student reactions
There are a variety of reactions and opinions
from students in the MPA program to the integration of students andcourse materials from the educational, public, and nonprofit
sectors. Some students immediately see the value of theinterdisciplinary nature of the program and its applicability to
the world of work. Others see the importance only after graduationwhen they are actively involved in administrative positions. While
in the program, some students express dislike of theinterdisciplinary course content and in-class discussions and
activities, and would prefer to have instruction and materialsrelate specifically to their area of interest. Instructors remain
cognizant of these desires and make every attempt to address theneeds of each group thorough the use of examples, case studies,
group projects, and class discussions. Once students graduate fromthe program and are involved in the application of new knowledgeand skills to practice on a daily basis, the usefulness of blending
the disciplines together begins to be recognized. As part of an MPAprogram review conducted in 2004, a graduate student survey was
conducted and open-ended responses were solicited. Following aregraduate responses related to the interdisciplinary nature of the
program:
- “This program was of value to me because of its wide and
broad applicability. Additionally, because the program was sobroad-based it attracted students from many different sectors. This
was valuable to all of us in the program because it exposed each ofus to arenas of public administration with which we were not
familiar. This added to and increased our learning.”(Assistant
Principal)
- “The MPA program fosters personal friendship and professional
relationships. Since the graduates of the program are from thepublic, education, and non-profit sectors, a great network is
created. If I need information pertaining to another sector, I knowI can call a fellow graduate for assistance.”(City
Administrator)
- “The MPA program at the University of Michigan-Dearborn
provides an incredibly well rounded experience for those seeking toenlarge the scope of their knowledge, skills, and experiences as it
applies to public organizations. I found great value in the way theprogram included the varied backgrounds of all of the individuals
in the program.”(Assistant Principal)
- “Pedagogically, the classes at UM-D contained a very
informative instructional basis. This combined with a very diverseand eclectic student base, allowed me to see real world aspects of
public administration from a wide variety of backgrounds andviewpoints. These benefits have been extremely useful in my field
of endeavors.”(Police Sergeant and Community College Adjunct
Professor)
- “The sharing of ideas from my peers with diverse backgrounds
enhanced the learning experience.”(Public Relations
Consultant)
- “My MPA degree helped me get my two positions as instructor
of political science (at a college and a university) and as afreshman dean (at a college). It is certainly a degree I drew upon
regularly (as a city council member and as mayor)”. (Mayor)
- “Valuable instruction in leadership, organizational
development, labor relations and financial management; Learningwith a diverse student body; A school where teachers and students
learn from each other.”(Assistant to the Chancellor and Director
of Equity&Affirmative Action)
- “UM-D is unique in bridging the gap between theory and
practical experience. Classmates brought‘real world’situations
into the classroom while instructors shaped theoreticalimplications of administration.”(Assistant Principal)
- “I found the combination business and education environment
stimulating and informative. Working with people from diversebackgrounds affords a more real-world look into administrative
issues and has prepared me to be more empathetic with parents ofschool-aged children”(Educator)
- “The challenging coursework and diverse backgrounds of
classmates provided a solid foundation from which to launch a newcareer.”(Executive Director-University Campus Recreation)
- “Michigan-Dearborn’s MPA program provided me with a knowledge
base, which I was able to apply across a variety of professionalexperiences.”(Technical Analyst)
- “The MPA program did an excellent job training me to be a
leader in the non-profit sector. I would recommend this program(and have numerous times) to any person who has the drive and
desire to become a leader in the nonprofit, educational, orgovernment sector.”(University Director of Development)

explain how nature and nurture affect the development and later the productivity of an individual.
nature is an hereditary factor while nurture is an environmental factor which constitute an individual personality. so if an individual's parent has a deviant behavior and was also brought up in an deviant environment, observation of the behavior and the inborn trait we make the individual deviant.
