Comparative Public Administration

GPA 8521

0-20 Credits

This course uses theories from comparative political science and public administration to examine the public administration systems of different countries and/or regions through case studies. Given the growing interdependence of nations and globalization of public policy concerns, practitioners of public administration often need to deal with a public administration issue beyond their borders. This course will help bring a broader perspective to practitioners, which will help them in dealing with such situations as well as aid them in assessing local public administration issues from a new perspective.

Elective course for these programs: Doctorate in Public Administration, Certificate in Advanced Studies in Public Administration
