Penn State Harrisburg - Doctoral Student Organization (DSO)

Public Administration and American Studies
 

About the DSO

All students accepted into the Ph.D. program in Public Administration offered by the School of Public Affairs at Penn State Harrisburg automatically receive membership in the Doctoral Student Organization (DSO). Beginning Fall 2009, the DSO has expanded to include the doctoral students enrolled in the Ph.D. Program in American Studies offered by the School of Humanities.

 

The DSO provides opportunities to share experiences and learn from other students in various stages of their doctoral studies. Supplemental programs organized by the DSO, such as discussion groups, presentations, and guest speaker lectures, enhance the educational experience.

 

The DSO recognizes that most students are incredibly busy balancing studies, work, and personal lives. Therefore, this organization has a virtual focus, utilizing email and the Internet to keep students linked. Activities are geared to supporting students in their studies and are normally scheduled between 5 pm and 6 pm on weekdays.
