The University Certificate in Public Administration is designed for students who want to learn about administration at the municipal, provincial, and federal levels of government. Students in this program take courses in such areas as public finance, budgeting, economics, public policy, legal studies, and industrial relations. Students may find this certificate useful to enter or re-enter the job market, to change careers, or for promotion in the public sector.

Students holding a Bachelor of Administration or a degree in Public Administration (or a similar area, e.g., Economics or Political Science) may not enrol in the University Certificate in Public Administration program.
