These programs are intended to prepare undergraduate and graduate students for careers in government service or non-profit administration. For those already employed in government service, the evening program on the Athens campus and, periodically, on the regional campuses are offered. The Department offers two graduate degrees in public administration. It requires 70 hours of course work including a public affairs internship, and it usually takes about two years of full time study. It is offered in an evening format with one class each quarter from 6-10 one night a week.
Undergraduates also have the option of two different public administration majors.
There is a BA degree in Public Policy and Administration. There is also a track in public policy and administration within the political science major.
