Graduate Diploma in Public Administration

The Graduate Diploma in Public Administration is a 24-credit postgraduate credential at Universite de Moncton's Moncton campus, completed in one year of full-time study or three years part-time. The program enhances the competencies of professionals working in the public and parapublic sectors, deepening their understanding of the analytical models and tools used to address governance and administrative challenges, including those specific to Canadian minority communities. The diploma builds on the university's shorter Graduate Certificate in Public Administration and provides access to the Master's program in Public Administration for graduates who wish to continue their studies. Courses are offered across three annual sessions: fall, winter, and spring-summer. The program suits public servants and parapublic-sector professionals seeking to build stronger analytical and administrative capacity for management and policy roles in municipal, provincial, or federal government and related organizations.
