Administered by the Department of Politics and the School of Public Administration

DEGREE: Offered on a part-time basis only. Please refer to the 2004-2005 Part-Time Undergraduate calendar.

Students wishing to study on a full-time basis may do so in consultation with the Department of Politics. The Public Administration and Governance Program consists of three levels of study that allow students to set their own educational goals. Students may apply to graduate with a Certificate after completing Level 1, with an Advanced Certificate after completing Level 2, and with a Degree after completing Level 3. To enhance the flexibility of learning opportunities, the Program offers courses in various teaching modes including classes at the Ryerson campus, distance education, intensive study, and on-site delivery at various locations in the Toronto area.

The Program is specifically designed for those working in the public, para-public, and non-profit sectors; those students aspiring to careers in these sectors; and those interested in gaining knowledge about public administration and public policy in Canada. The curriculum reflects the latest developments in public sector issues and initiatives, and features a mix of courses providing students with a broad understanding of the Canadian political process. The courses emphasize the importance of linking the theory and practice of public administration to concerns of political economy and public policy.

A minor in Public Administration is available to students enrolled in the Departments/Schools of Geography, Business Management, Early Childhood Education, Occupational and Public Health, Social Work, and Urban and Regional Planning.
