A career in public administration can be well paying, secure, and exciting. But more importantly, public administration offers a chance to make a difference. A degree in Public Administration is the first step for a career in the public or nonprofit sectors, including criminal justice, health care and state and local government management. Career opportunities in multinational corporations and regulated industries are among two emerging job markets for students with degrees in public administration. In addition, with a background in public administration a student can develop the knowledge and skills necessary for establishing a successful career or entering graduate programs in a variety of other disciplines including law, planning, business, and government relations.
