Public Administration is a specialty connected to political science. It equips students to compete for roles in government and global affairs, running campaigns, and lobbying or advocating on issues.
The program sits in the Department of History, Political Science and Humanities within the College of Arts and Sciences. The department lists an unusually broad range of destinations for its majors, including attorney, civil service administrator, foreign service and diplomacy, legislative assistant, non-profit manager, journalist, community organizer and consultant.
Students can also draw on department events and faculty advising as they shape a path toward government, advocacy or further study.
The program is part of Lee University in Cleveland, Tennessee, a Christian institution that frames each field around ethical conduct, service to others and civic responsibility. Students can also look into the university's scholarships, which are offered across its schools and programs.
