Public Administration
HomepageIntroduction
The Department of Public Administration was established within the College of Law and Economics in March 1977. In 1980, the college was divided into the College of Law and Politics, and the College of Economics and Business Administration. Public Administration then became affiliated with the College of Law and Politics and with the College of Social Sciences in 1998. Currently, the faculty is composed of eleven professors and approximately 400 students are enrolled in this major. The Public Administration program is designed to help students prepare for careers as public managers and policy analysts in government agencies, public enterprises, NGO's, and NPO's closely associated with the public sector. Dynamic changes and trends in the information age demand public managers to have a wide range of analytical and communicative skills. The Program has continuously improved the curriculum by responding to changes in society and public policy. The department also offers different tracks to meet the different interests and plans for the future career path of students.
