Public Administration Concentration
JOANNE MYERS, Ph.D., Director
Marist College currently offers both a graduate program leading to a Masters Degree in Public Administration and an undergraduate concentration, available to students
regardless of their major field of study. The undergraduate concentration is interdisciplinary, drawing from political science, business, economics, mathematics, and
computer science. It provides students with a professional education in management, emphasizing the quantitative and qualitative techniques of analysis necessary
for a successful career in government and not-for-profit organizations. A Five-Year B.A.-M.P.A. program is available for qualified students. See Director for more
information.
REQUIREMENTS FOR A CONCENTRATION IN PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION
Depending upon a student’s major field of study, the courses remaining to complete the concentration vary. This is because students complete some of this interdisciplinary

Public History Concentration
SARA DWYER-McNULTY, Ph.D., Director
Public History has been described as “The doing of historical research for a client or employer.” The usual purpose of the client is to bring historical research techniques
and historical perspectives to bear upon a practical problem as part of a planning process. Marist College is among the first undergraduate colleges to initiate a
concentration in Public History.
