Public Administration

Majoring in public administration can offer you a lot of opportunities. It gives you the chance to deal with issues being faced by society as a whole and make an impact fighting crime or working in public policy. You will spend most of your time studying management of public policies, financial management, and the development of principles for public administration. Once you've completed your major in public administration, you will come to realize that you're not restricted to a certain career path. Your skills and knowledge will come handy when it comes to communicating and setting public policies. Depending on what you specialize in, you could work as a healthcare administrator, regional or urban planner, and even a city manager.
