ABOUT US
Faculty members in the Department of Public Service and Administration offer a range of courses that explore the institutional structure of city and county government and how it varies among jurisdictions. Topics include politics and management at the state and local level, the prerogatives and limitations of governments in different policy areas, the role of state and local governments in implementing federal programs, and critical issues facing said governments.
