Purpose
The specialization in public and institutional administration
has an interdisciplinary curriculum keyed to management and administration
in public and nonprofit institutions. For the specialization,
students take courses in advanced management and courses that
provide an understanding of important public policy problems and
the environment within which decision-making occurs in public
and nonprofit sectors. The program is interdisciplinary and allows
development of a student's particular skills and interests through
courses taken in optional study areas. For those students who
are unclear about their career objectives, this program exposes
students to a range of managerial options. The program also provides
a suitable pre-professional program for students interested in
professional degrees in law, business or public administration.
