PUAD 5201

This non-credit course is the first course in the MPA Professional Development (PD) Certificate program. Over four courses and in partnership with the MPA Internship experience, the certificate program focuses on preparing MPA candidates with professional competencies expected by public sector employers, while promoting competency development in skills areas related to self-management, engagement, communication, leadership, innovation and integrity. The courses are designed to mirror the way public sector organizations operate with respect to behavioral and technical competency and skill development. This course is a prerequisite for the Internship (PUAD 6855).
