课程描述

CERTIFICATE IN ADVANCED STUDY OF PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION/CERTIFICATE IN PUBLIC PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT

The Public 政府 程序 of the Department of 政治科学 offers two certificates of graduate study: a certificate of advanced study in public administration, and a certificate of advanced study in public personnel administration. The certificates are meant to introduce graduate study in public administration to students who may be contemplating enrollment in the M.P.A. 程序, or to meet the needs of mid-career managers who may not need the volume of advanced course work offered through the M.P.A. Because course work for both programs is entirely web-supported, enrollment from Indiana, from throughout the United States, and across the globe is encouraged. 学生 may apply for either program through the College of 研究生 and Professional Studies. Applicants must offer proof of a bachelor of arts or a bachelor of science and an acceptable grade point average from an accredited college or university. Applicants may be admitted conditionally on the basis of a graduate school application and unofficial transcripts, but each student must supply the College of 研究生 and Professional Studies with an official transcript of all academic work before the program will extend unconditional admission. 国际 applicants should also have a TOEFL score of at least 600 (paper)  or 213 (computer) or 70 (iBT) or better on the Test of 英语 as a Foreign Language, or provide equivalent evidence of language proficiency.
