PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION

Catalog description

This is an advanced level Public Administration course about the people and organizations within government who are tasked with implementing the laws provided to them by legislators and executives. We will not only discuss the nuts and bolts of public administration, but also the development of guiding theories of the bureaucratic state. We will see how these theories shaped the practice of public administration over time. Students interested in pursuing a Master's in Public Administration will find this course useful, but it should also be of interest to those studying Policy and intrigued by the policy process.
