摘要：

The authors paper New Developments in the Delivery of Intemet-based Public Administration Programs and Courses presented at the 2009 International Conference on Public Administration, talked about the evolution of online education in the field of public administration.11 In this 2010 paper, the author will be discussing the actual process of implementation of a hybrid (partially online, partially residential) public administration program at a well-rated mid-western non-profit university in the Twin Cities (Minneapolis and St. Paul), Minnesota. This public administration program has recognized the challenge to non-profit and public institutions by for-profit online institutions, including those in its own region. Interestingly enough, Minneapolis recently(in reference to the Forbes most wired cities list) ...improved its standing from No. 11 to No. 7, beating New York and Portland, Ore.,...Minneapolis secret? A particularly broad range of neighborhoods with 20 different access options for high-speed internet. i2i The presence of several major online universities in the Twin Cities(Minnesota) area offering B.P.A., M.P.A. and D.P.A. programs has also been a significant factor in raising consciousness about the need to compete with online or hybrid programming alternatives.
