Welcome

The School of Public Policy and Administration is characterized by a strong emphasis on social justice, public ethics and good governance. We offer a new Bachelor of Public Administration (launched September 2010), a Master of Public Policy, Administration and Law, and certificate and diploma programs that will place you squarely in front of the pack.

Public debate over ethical issues in public administration has made all levels of government and the not-for-profit sector increasingly aware of the importance of education and professional development in this area. Appealing to those already working in the field and younger students alike, the School of Public Policy and Administration will equip students with the skills and expertise required to accelerate or begin a successful career in the public, private and non-profit sectors.

Staffed by faculty with strong research records and many years combined experience in active public service, the School provides a sense of community for students who share a fascination with questions of governance, administration, public ethics and the law.

The 2011 Spring Gala

Members of The Public Policy Student Association (PPASA) and the Master of Public Policy, Administration and Law Student Association (MPPALSA) pose in front of The School of Public Policy and Administration's table at the 2011 Spring Gala on Saturday April 2nd.

The annual Spring Gala allows graduating high school students to visit York and meet faculty and students from the programs they are interested in. The School of Public Policy and Administration offers a Bachelor of Public Administration (BPA) degree, a minor in Public Administration for undergraduate students who choose to specialize in another discipline, as well as graduate public administration education through its Master of Public Policy, Administration and Law (MPPAL) program. Students in the BPA may take courses leading to the Honours BPA, or to the Specialized Honours BPA with a focus in one of three fields: Law, Justice and Public Policy; Management; or Policy Analysis.
