The Rutgers University School of Public Affairs and Administration (SPAA) is a public policy and public administration school, and one of Rutgers University's professional schools. It offers bachelor's degrees in public service, master's degrees in public administration and public health, grants doctoral degrees, administers executive programs for senior government officials, and conducts research in subjects relating to politics, government, international affairs, and economics.

According to U.S. News & World Report, SPAA is one of the top seven programs in the United States in public management and administration. SPAA's campus is located in the University Heights neighborhood of Newark, New Jersey, United States. Since 2004, the school's dean has been Marc Holzer, who is also the Board of Governors Professor at SPAA.

Founding Dean Marc Holzer retired from his position as Dean on June 30, 2016. A nationwide search for dean candidates began in the summer of 2016 and will conclude sometime in late 2016.
