I'm from the cookie-cutter suburbs, but have recently relocated to Los Angeles. Here are my thoughts & adventures! Twitter: @tiffanyjam

Q:
Hey! I am wondering what kind of classes you had to take for Public Administration. What kind of work came along with it: a lot of government/politic classes? What is your main focus? I am really intrigued by the major! from cocoabird A: In my MPA program, I’ve taken various courses that relate to public administration, but not all the classes were specifically for government. Some classes were more theory-based than others (organizational theory, leadership strategies & skills, public human resources, etc.) , which were more skills-based (public budget & finance, research methods, policy analysis, etc.). I write a lot of papers, read quite a bit…and honestly, I do a lot of doable busy work (lol). I chose not to have a specific focus/emphasis in my program, mostly because I wasn’t 100% sure of what I wanted to do with my degree after I graduate. Luckily, I found my niche during my internship & have decided to focus on working with health nonprofit management. What I really love about Public Administration is that it’s really diverse for the public sector (nonprofit and government)!
