Overview

The Public Administration programme at Louisiana State University targets both pre-service and in-service candidates with an interest in public service careers.

Students will master the skills to participate in and contribute to the policy and administrative process. Students will also learn how to lead and manage in public organizations; analyze, synthesize, critically evaluate, and solve problems; and make and justify decisions.

Graduates will leave the programme with the ability to articulate and apply a public service perspective and interact productively with a diverse workforce and citizenry. An online MPA is a versatile, non-thesis degree that prepares students for employment in the non-profit, public, and private sectors.
