Public Admin @ UPEI
The Public Administration program is an innovative program designed for an interdisciplinary understanding of public administration, with a class schedule attractive to both the working professional and the full-time student. Leading to a certificate or diploma, the program offers enough flexibility so the student can choose to focus in one area, or take a range of courses in a relevant field.
Who is the program for?
Although the program is open to all qualified candidates, it is specifically designed for those working in the municipal, provincial, or federal civil service who wish to have the education required for more senior-level administration and management positions. Every effort is made to schedule required classes at a time convenient to the working professional.
A note from the Co-ordinator
With required courses that give the student knowledge of a number of different areas, and complemented by relevant electives, the Public Administration program has proven successful for both full-time students and professionals. The Public Administration programs are a great opportunity for working professionals to earn a post-secondary credential. The program is designed for current and aspiring public servants to enhance their understanding of public administration and enable them to fulfill their career aspirations. I have had the good fortune of teaching several of the required courses for the Public Administration programs and I am always impressed by the calibre of individuals who devote their professional lives to public service.
