Programs
Progams offered: Master, In-Service Master, Auditing Regular Classes (credit courses)
Based on the aforementioned educational features, our program has three main teaching objectives:
- 1To train students to be public managers with professional skills and humanistic literacy that meets the social need, and competency in planning and executing projects and programs.
- 2 To train students to be policy analysts by developing their analytical abilities and techniques based on sound theoretical practices.
- 3 Prepare students for advanced academic career in public affairs.
Students can select their area of specialization based on their future career plans and interests, aligning their choices with the curriculum offered. The program’s core fields are "Social Science Research Methods" and "Public Affairs Theory and Practice", which are further divided into two major specializations: "Public Governance" and "Local Government and Politics". For students aiming to become public managers, the curriculum emphasizes courses in public governance. For those aspiring to be policy analysis experts, the focus is on courses related to local government and politics.Additionally, the program places great importance on building connections with societal elites. It actively operates an In-Service Master’s Program and Auditing Regular Classes (similar to credit courses) to attract elites from government, private enterprises, and the third sector in the central region. This not only enriches the program’s social resources but also fulfills its educational and social responsibilities.
