The 18 credit-hour Minor in Public Administration and Nonprofit Management (PAD) introduces students from all disciplines to the core elements of public administration and nonprofit management. The minor is designed to prepare students for careers in the nonprofit and government sectors and/or graduate study in public administration and public affairs. Several students who have completed the PAD minor have pursued their MPA at Buffalo State* or at other universities.
The minor requires three courses focusing specifically on public administration and nonprofit management. The electives offer students an opportunity to either focus on a particular area (e.g. GIS, ethics) or select courses in various disciplines that provide conceptual and hands-on skills for careers in the public and nonprofit sectors.
Students earning a GPA of 3.0 or above in the minor are guaranteed admission into SUNY Buffalo State’s MPA Program.
