| Department of Public Administration and Public Policy |
The objective of the Department of Public Administration and Public Policy is to offer scientific and
practical knowledge of public administration and policy to foster skillful public officials, political scientists,
and democratic citizens to lead the community. With the advent of informatization and globalization, the
societal demand for public administration experts is on a rapid rise. Our Department of Public
Administration Policy responds to this growing demand by producing new talents for 21st century public
service. Such talents are people who are not bounded by the inherent limitations of traditional public
administration and who can actively adapt to the rapidly changing environment. The specific majors
(TRACKS) within the department offer a more specialized education by instilling efficient organizational
management skills and creative problem-solving abilities.
