Program Description
|
The study of Public Administration primarily prepares students for career employment as supervisors, managers, and decision-makers in the public sector, including local, state, and federal government agencies. In addition, the graduates of the Public Administration program may be eligible for employment in similar capacities in the non-profit and private sector.
The University’s programs in Public Administration are designed to endow students with practical abilities in problem-solving, program analysis, and implementation. The structure of the academic programs is based on the premise that the Public Administration student should possess skills adaptable to various tasks and employment settings. The program also emphasizes the subfields of management information systems, human resources/personnel, and development administration, and makes a special effort to meet the needs of professionals from state and local governments. (A copy of the KCTCS/KSU articulation agreement is available through the Kentucky State University School of Public Administration.)
Information about this program and its requirements is located in the KSU Catalogue at the KSU Web site (http://www.kysu.edu/academics/enrollment_services/registrar/Catalogue_2005_2007.pdf).
Students will receive a Bachelor of Arts in Public Administration degree from Kentucky State University.
Kentucky State University’s School of Public Administration was established in January 1973 and was the first in the state to offer the Masters of Public Administration degree. The Bachelor of Arts in Public Administration (BAPA) was instituted in 1978. The BAPA program is designed for both pre-professional and mid-career students.
