PGCert in Public Administration

The Advanced Certificate in Public and Nonprofit Management and Policy is a short graduate credential from NYU Wagner. It requires 12 credits, and students can focus on finance and financial management for the public sector, or on policy analysis. The certificate suits professionals and graduate students who want focused training in public service management or policy analysis without a full degree. Applications are submitted through an online application. Prospective students can consult the university bulletin page for the full list of required courses, the structure of the credential and the application steps set by the school. Staff in the program help students plan their courses and understand how the credential fits alongside other graduate study. The credential can be a useful addition for people already working in or moving toward public service roles.
