The non-profit sector, including health care, foundations, and social services, is rapidly growing. As a result, effective administrators of government and non-profit institutions are definitely needed.
Many career choices exist in public and institutional administration.
The Federal government needs administrators with training in policy formation and management skills. Federal agencies include human services, housing, law enforcement, defense, and the regulation of areas like banking, aviation, and labor relations. The greatest employment opportunities exist at the state and local level, as the Federal government seeks to implement national policies through grants and other forms of assistance to state and local governments and private non-profit organizations. Students in public and institutional administration explore various areas of public policy and affairs while gaining a strong business background. In addition to BSBA core courses, public and institutional administration students take 5 courses in management, political science and government finance.
