Placement opportunities

 

Field Placements are becoming increasingly popular. In the Public Policy and Administration MA program, full-time students can earn one course credit on a pass/fail basis for a field placement through enrolment in PA8213.

Aside from gaining “hands on” experience, placements provide networking and mentoring opportunities. Our students have held placements in a wide variety of organizations within government, the nonprofit and private sectors. In the past few years, they include:

  • Aboriginal Legal Serves of Toronto

Please note that placement opportunities vary from year to year. In some cases, the program has facilitated placements. In other cases, students have taken the initiative in identifying placement opportunities which are then program approved. While obtaining a placement is not guaranteed, most students who have wanted one have been successful in securing a position.
