Jersey City<\/strong>, N.J.<\/strong> \u2013 June 17, 2013 \u2013<\/b> Â鶹ÊÓƵ\u2019s University today announced a master\u2019s program in public administration, which will be offered in the fall of 2013 through the College of Arts and Sciences. The program will prepare graduates with the knowledge and skills required of successful public servants, non-profit workers and private sector employees working towards the public good.<\/p>\n

Job growth is anticipated in the fields of political science, sociology and economics and in these respective fields an advanced degree is imperative for job candidates. The expertise of Â鶹ÊÓƵ\u2019s University in public policy and its unique relationship with the United Nations make it the ideal location to offer a program of this nature.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs we continue to expand offerings at Â鶹ÊÓƵ\u2019s, we seek to establish programs that are aligned with the University\u2019s mission and are relevant to potential students. The master\u2019s in public administration overwhelmingly meets that criteria,\u201d said Marylou Yam, Ph.D., R.N., provost and vice president of academic affairs at Â鶹ÊÓƵ\u2019s University. \u201cThere is an obvious need for a graduate education in this particular area of study and Â鶹ÊÓƵ\u2019s Jesuit tradition of academic excellence and service grounds and enriches the curriculum.\u201d<\/p>\n

Â鶹ÊÓƵ\u2019s University offers a host of advantages to potential students of the program with the University\u2019s commitment to issues of social justice and a clear mission to serve communities. Additionally, the University\u2019s close proximity to the United Nations and the maintenance of a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) status, provides students with a unique \u201claboratory\u201d experience in the work and practices of an international organization.<\/p>\n

Specialty courses that fall within the program include Introduction to Public Administration and Public Service, Ethics and Society, Public Policy: Processes, Evaluation and Funding, Analytical Methods for Public Administration and more. The courses will be offered on a trimester schedule at the Jersey City campus. Graduates of the program will be qualified for many roles, including work in federal, local and state government, non-profit organizations, research organizations, lobbying groups, labor organizations, academia, public policy management and a host of other organizations.<\/p>\n

Â鶹ÊÓƵ\u2019s University is currently accepting applications for the program. For more information about enrollment, course schedule and program guidelines, please contact the Office of Graduate Admissions at gradadmit@saintpeters.edu<\/a> or (201) 761-6470.<\/p>\n
