The Advanced Certificate in Public Administration and Policy (Level I) provides a graduate-level education for students interested in legislation, government agencies, and social services. The certificate is a valuable professional credential for workers in the public and non-profit sectors, and for students pursuing scholarly interests in government affairs at the federal, state and municipal levels.

Students gain a rich understanding of the theories behind government policy and public-sector management, while learning how to critique their implementation and make effective recommendations. The program enables students to develop and enhance advanced analytic, research, writing and presentation skills.

Graduates may pursue careers as managers in the public sector, policy analysts, researchers and planning specialists, or as journalists covering government and public policy.
