Public administration is a large discipline in which employees manage local, city, state, and federal govenment functions. These workers set goals and employ strategies to ensure the government or community runs smoothly and safely.

Those in public administration are responsible for community programs, nonprofit management, economic development, urban/regional planning, and budget planning at the city, state, or federal level. Graduates of this field will rely heavily on organizational skills and creativity to effect change.


Here's what some had to say about the field:

  • "Through public administration, one learns about the current ways in which services and programs are being developed and managed to meet the needs of society and its individual communities."

    • - College Board Book of Majors, 2nd edition

  • "Public policy studies how to do things, how to use what we have to make a world. In many cases, we even try to be fair. It has amazed me to learn that there is a science, a precision, a balancing to be addressed with the precision and discipline of an artist."

    • - Kobi, a senior at Columbia University

  • "Public administration is a great field for those who want to make a difference in society."

    • - Professor Danny Lee Balfour, Grand Valley State University
