For students pursuing a master’s degree from the Gary Tharaldson School of Business, this certificate can be declared as part of their program of study.
Students who do not wish to pursue a full master’s degree may instead choose to pursue a non-degree certificate program on its own. This program will result in the award of a graduate certificate on the student’s official transcript. Please note: when pursued independently of a full master’s degree program, this certificate program is not eligible for Title IV funding. Students taking this option will not be able to apply federal financial aid funds toward the completion of this certificate program.
The Public Administration certificate equips students with public sector, human resource, and leadership competencies required for serving community needs at the federal, state, and local level. Incorporated into the classes are the university’s Christian, Catholic, and Benedictine values, encouraging students to become ethical servant leaders.
