The mission of the School of Public Policy and Administration is to provide “Education for Good Governance.” The school’s programs are characterized by a strong emphasis on social justice, public ethics and commitment to democratic values. Students take courses from a mix of disciplines that provide a breadth of knowledge and opportunities to develop critical thinking, analytical capabilities and management skills.
The Professional Certificate in Public Sector Management provides a basic core of courses that allow the student to develop the necessary knowledge, capabilities and skills to work in a public sector environment or with other organizations that are allied with the public sector (such as not-for-profit groups or businesses that deal with the public sector). Students interested in pursuing a bachelor’s degree rather than a certificate should consider the bachelor of public administration.
