 Graduate Area and Program Information
Public Management
The Schulich School has created a unique program in public sector management which is a distinctive combination of private-sector management, public-sector management, public-policy analysis, implementation and evaluation and business-government relations. The program integrates courses from the Schulich School, the Faculty of Arts’ Department of Political Science and the Osgoode Hall Law School.
Schulich students are also eligible to complete a Graduate Diploma in Democratic Administration, which is administered through York University’s Department of Political Science and awarded by the Faculty of Graduate Studies. This program prepares graduates for leadership positions in either public sector or nonprofit organizations by developing the analytical and practical insights needed to build more democratic and responsive institutions.
Graduates of the public management specialization have built new careers and added value to existing careers in government at the local, provincial and federal levels; the private sector; nonprofit organizations in healthcare, education, and arts and media sectors.
