The School of Public and Environmental Affairs encompasses public service activities that complement innovative academic programs. The school provides a wide variety of services to an equally broad range of federal, state, and local agencies.
The Executive Education Program is one of the most prestigious leadership programs in the nation. Offered through the School of Public and Environmental Affairs, the Executive Education Program works with the government, nonprofit agencies, and the private sector to prepare leaders and managers to meet today’s challenges and anticipate tomorrow’s opportunities.
The Executive Education Program offers graduate-level programs at four sites nationally: Washington, D.C.; Seattle, Washington; Indianapolis, Indiana, for the United States Navy; and Louisville, Kentucky, for the United States Army Corps of Engineers. Graduate programs include the Master of Public Affairs (M.P.A.), the Public Management Certificate, and the Environmental Management Certificate.
The Executive Education Program has formed a partnership with the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO), which also meets in Indianapolis. Together, they have created two institutes to challenge and educate transportation managers and leaders. The National Transportation Leadership Institute and the Graduate Leadership/Management Institute are two of the most influential programs for transportation management.
The Executive Education Program’s partnership with the Indiana Health and Hospital Association (IHHA) created a 10-course management institute for health care officials in Indiana to help them lead their organizations through the continually changing health care industry. The Executive Education Program has also partnered with Goodwill Industries of Central Indiana and the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department to develop two specialized 15 credit hour graduate certificates for emerging leaders.
SPEA’s Executive Education Program also offers customized leadership and management programs for local and national clients.
The IU Public Policy Institute is a collaborative, multidisciplinary research institute within the Indiana University School of Public and Environmental Affairs.

The Institute also supports the Office of International Community development and the Indiana Advisory Commission on Intergovernmental Relations (IACIR).

An applied research organization, CUPE was created by the Indiana University School of Public and Environmental Affairs in 1992. The Center works in partnership with community leaders, business and civic organizations, nonprofits, and government. CUPE's work is focused on urban policy, intergovernmental cooperation, community and economic development, housing, environmental issues, and fiscal affairs research essential to developing strategies to strengthen Indiana's economy and quality of life.
