Public Administration is the management of the business of the citizens of a nation that is conducted by or receives major regulation from government. This major consists of a combination of courses in political science, business, and English which provide an academic background that is desirable for entry into public service careers in American national, state, or local government. It also is appropriate for students who plan to go on to graduate or professional schools and pursue post-baccalaureate degrees in public or business administration, political science, or law. (NOTE: A separate minor is not required for BA/Public Administration/Public Management majors.)
Liberal Arts Core requirements are as listed elsewhere in this catalog. All Public Administration/Public Management majors are required to take the three-hour American National Government course that is included in the social sciences section of the Liberal Arts Core. It is highly recommended, however, that all Public Administration/Public Management majors also take the six hours of United States history courses that are included as well in this section of the Liberal Arts Core (HIS 2053 and HIS 2063).
Students interested in majoring in Public Administration/Public Management should contact the Public Administration/Public Management advisor in the Department of Social Sciences for any additional information or advice.
