The minor in Public Administration is designed to provide students with the opportunity to develop their knowledge of public administration theory, policy analysis, research design, written communication, and promote practical experience. The minor offers students choice and flexibility, as many of the courses are currently offered as online. The public administration minor requires three courses: PS 243 – State and Local Government, PS 244 – Public Policy and Administration, and PS 311 – Public Administration.
