The U.S. Public Service Academy will be the civilian counterpart to the
military service academies, a flagship institution designed to build a "more
perfect union" by developing leaders of skill and character dedicated to
service in the public sector.
At the Academy, more than 5000 students will get a federally-subsidized undergraduate education focused on service and leadership development, followed by five years of service in public sector jobs following graduation. The Academy will develop a new generation of top-quality civilian leaders and will help transform the way Americans perceive, prepare for, and pursue public service.
"A heavy moral obligation rests upon the man of education to do his full duty to his country."
- Theodore Roosevelt
