This Honours Bachelor of Social Sciences program in Public Administration is a four-year, 120-unit degree offered by the University of Ottawa's School of Political Studies in English and French. The curriculum examines how governments work and their role in contemporary societies, covering public management principles such as financial management, human resources, ethics, administrative reform and governance, alongside the public-policy design process, including the policy cycle, stakeholder roles and contextual factors. Students can customize the program to focus on public administration alone or combine it with related disciplines such as political science, economics or history. Co-operative education and a French immersion stream are both available. Located near Parliament Hill, the School draws on a network of contacts in the federal public service. Graduates are prepared for roles such as public administration manager, manager in community organizations, public policy analyst, consultant in business-government relations, and public relations officer.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Ontario secondary-school applicants need English 4U (ENG4U) or Français 4U (FRA4U) as the only subject prerequisite; no other Grade 12 course is required. The published minimum admission average is 75%, calculated from the applicant's top six 4U/4M/DU grades including the language prerequisite. This line covers the great majority of Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Social Sciences programs at the University of Ottawa, including single-subject majors, Honours variants, joint-honours combinations of two Arts or Social Sciences disciplines, and the general Interdisciplinary Studies (BA/BSocSc) credentials. Some programs in this group carry an additional stream (French Immersion, Co-op, or an In-Depth Experiential Learning Stream) that does not change the academic admission line. Meeting the minimum average does not guarantee admission where a program is oversubscribed. Applicants completing Environmental Studies without Biology 4U are advised to take a replacement course in first year.
