Public Administration

The study of public administration seeks to advance our understanding of how governments work and of the role they play in contemporary societies. It deals both with the nature of government policies in various sectors (from economic development to the protection of citizens' weelfare and health) and with how the public service works to formulate and implement government decisions and programs. In addition to providing a high-quality education to students aiming for a career in the public sector, the program also appeals to students interested in government relations in the volunteer-based or private sectors.
