Public Management
Offered at IU Bloomington by O'Neill School of Public and Environmental Affairs.
About
A successful organization—the kind that can contribute to solving big problems—requires strong leadership, particularly at the managerial and executive levels. With a concentration in public management, you will be prepared for a leadership role in a variety of public, private, and nonprofit settings.
You'll learn how policies are adopted and implemented, how the public bureaucracy operates in a democracy, and what goals, structures, and processes drive organizations. You'll also develop vital skills such as strategic thinking; planning; management; personnel relations; technology; and the design, operation, and evaluation of successful work systems.
With an MPA from the O'Neill School, your education builds on nearly five decades of growth and scholarship. The O'Neill School is one of the largest and most-respected schools of its kind, consistently recognized as one of the best among all Master of Public Affairs programs.
