In response to the growing labour market, we have designed a program that shapes students into strong candidates with transferable skills, such as leadership, managing projects, employee management, team building, and understanding ethical responsibilities and financial reports within public and non-profit organizations.
The study of public administration and governance will serve to either advance your career in the public sector or foster a seamless transition into the public sector. Each of our varied courses aims to encourage future leaders to analyze discrepancies in today’s current public operations, develop hands-on experience and gain a competitive edge, and find innovative strategies to achieve long-term success for organizations.

- Integrated Blended-Online: Being self-directed online means combining the flexibility of a digital classroom with the dynamics of a traditional one.
How:
- Half of your classes will meet live online, and the other half you will complete independently.
- Students take two classes simultaneously, and assignments and assessments are integrated.
