Public & Nonprofit Management Concentration

Public service is a discipline practiced at many levels- local, national and international- often with ripple effects across each. Through grassroots contributions and global applications, Public Administration students pursuing a public & nonprofit management major acquire a deep understanding of the many contexts in which public and nonprofit organizations operate. Many look forward to the opportunity to leverage change in a mixed economy.

Our curriculum stresses responsible leadership and our students develop the skills to diagnose leadership challenges and opportunities from a variety of ethical and moral frameworks. With an interdisciplinary approach drawing from fields including philosophy, law, organizational design and political science, this program gives students the skills they need to meet the challenges of a world in which services increasingly span boundaries among business, government and nonprofit organizations.
