Public Administration, BA

36 credit hours

The Public Administration program prepares students to handle the rigors of graduate and professional school. Most careers that involve Public Administration will require students to consider earning at least one degree beyond the bachelor's degree. A significant number of Lindenwood Public Administration graduates have continued their education, earning master's, doctoral, or law degrees.  The interdisciplinary nature of the Public Administration major, which requires students to complete courses in several different fields of study, helps prepare students for a variety of graduate degree options.
