Key Features

The Public Administration program from University of Dayton, offered since 1967, prepares responsible public-servant leaders who advance the common good by working to improve the quality of public service locally, nationally, and globally. We serve students currently employed or seeking employment in the public and nonprofit sectors.

Adaptable – meets the needs of in-service/pre-service students and public/nonprofit-oriented students; and is customizable through the choices of electives, internships, public service projects, independent studies, and capstone projects
