Public Service
What is public service?
Gain an overview of public service, the laws governing public and/or nonprofit organizations,
as well as the financial and budgeting principles that distinguish public sector accounting
practices from private enterprise. In addition, they learn the dynamics of working
and negotiating constructively with employee or public interest groups and examine
hot-button issues that administrators must be prepared to face.
Why public service?
Students also acquire computer database and word processing skills essential for administrators
in today’s lean public and nonprofit organizations. Internships with area organizations
and agencies give students the option of gaining firsthand administrative experience.
