Bachelor of Science in Public Administration with Emphasis in Policy and Politics

Program Overview

Do you want to help others? The public administration degree is a practitioner-oriented degree that provides students with the necessary skills to manage and lead in government and nonprofit organizations. Public administrators work in a variety of specialty areas, such as healthcare, finance, psychology, emergency disaster management, and agriculture.

Policy and Politics: The policy/politics emphasis, like the general emphasis, provides a foundation that will help students develop the skills to adapt to changing political and social conditions, and function as well-informed, politically and morally sensitive administrators and citizens who think critically and ethically about the purpose, design and function of government organizations. However, this emphasis is broader, focusing not only on the development and implementation of public policy at the national level but providing a broader understanding of the practical aspects of politics and policy. This emphasis area works especially well with the UIU pre-law minor.
