PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION
Undergraduate Catalog 2008-2010 PRINT PAGE
Public Administration is the management of the business of the citizens of a nation which is conducted by or receives major regulation from government. This major consists of a combination of courses in political science, business, and English which provides an academic background that is desirable for entry into public service careers in American national, state, and local government. It also is appropriate for students who plan to go on to graduate school in public or business administration, political science, or law.
Liberal arts core requirements are as listed in the catalog. However, it is desirable that the social sciences portion includes six hours of United States history.
Students interested in majoring in public administration should contact the public administration advisor in the Department of Social Sciences, who can provide guidance in the selection of courses and information about requirements.
