Message from the Academic Program Coordinator
I look forward to welcoming you to our Graduate Certificate in Advanced Public Administration and Governance program. Newly revised and updated, the program focuses on developing advanced competencies to lead in public administration. At the core of this online program is a learner-centered instructional methodology which includes simulations, experiential activities, and case studies to go beyond knowledge and theory.
Our instructors and students make up a community passionate about public administration. We have created an online environment that makes learning fun, hands-on, and engaging. Classes are taught by public services experts and practitioners. Guest speakers make each class engaging and interactive. Group activities and interactions are an integral part of the program; the ability to network with like-minded individuals and learn from your peers is important. Our students come from Canada and other parts of the world, as well as from a variety of backgrounds, both those employed in public administration and those who are not.
By the end of this program, graduates will be able to lead organizational teams, facilitate strategic thinking and solve problems using multiple project management and lean techniques; analyze public financials, and design and generate governance plans and leadership approaches.
