tiff of the 'burbs.
I want to be domesticated, a humanitarian, a foodie, a fashionista, & a world-traveler. In the meantime, I'm a 24 year old grad student in beautiful Southern California. I'm from the cookie-cutter suburbs, but have recently relocated to Los Angeles. Here are my thoughts & adventures! Twitter: @tiffanyjamcocoabird asked: 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!
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)!
