Public Administration

Wherever a career leads, it will inevitably involve management.  The minor in Public Administration gives students an understanding of how administration works, how policy gets made, and how to excel as a manager in government, non-profit and corporate organizations.  The supervision, planning and budgeting skills students acquire in the Public Administration minor will prove valuable as they advance towards a leadership role in any organization that helps carry out the business of government.
