Public administrators today are becoming increasingly aware of the fact that government is, indeed, the people's business. They are challenged to be both effective and efficient. They believe that people tend to support what they help to create. Working with citizens, they have brought the practice of public management to its highest level without giving up the desire to constantly change and improve. The difference is that today's public servants are recognized and rewarded in personal and material ways, making the study of public policy and administration a highly desirable career option.<br>The Graduate Center for Public Policy and Administration offers the Master of Public Administration degree, Options in the degree program include Public Works Administration and Urban Affairs, and graduate certificate programs exist in Employer-Employee Relations and Personnel Management, Public Management Analysis, and Public Sector Financial Management.<br><br>The Center's graduate level programs are designed with a professional emphasis and a recognized need to provide course work that will increase the student's competency in public administrative processes and analysis. The Center's curriculum also is designed to emphasize the student's ability to apply new knowledge, skills, and leadership techniques to the solution of public problems.
