Students wishing to make a difference in their community might find themselves drawn to the public sector, whether through the non-profit sector or working in local, state, or federal government. This program in Public Administration prepares students to work in a variety of operational roles in the public and non-profit sectors.

The Public Administration field is projected to grow 6% from 2019 to 2029, which is faster than the average for all other industries. With over half of the federal workers nearing retirement, there is a lot of opportunity for younger talent in this field.
Upon completion of the Public Administration skilled pathway, graduates will be able to:
No, but you may need one to get hired, and having educational training in Public Administration provides a massive advantage in earning potential and salary. Across all fields, people with a bachelor’s degree also have a 50% lower rate of unemployment, and on average, they make an additional $630,000 to $900,000 over their lifetime, even more in high-growth fields like this one.
Yes! The only way to make sure our program gives you the skills you need to get hired and teaches you to work through real-world problems is to partner with the people out there who are actually doing it. Our collaboration with subject matter experts means that their real-world expertise is reflected in everything you’ll study here.
Public Administration is huge, and the skills you will learn have a wide range of applications across different sectors. If you have a passion for serving your local community, it may be city management and administration. If you’ve always been interested in furthering charitable causes, you may want to land a job at a nonprofit you identify with. The possibilities available to you across industries are essentially endless.
A flipped classroom is one where the focus is not on lectures but on discussion, projects, and problem-solving. Students in flipped classrooms get the chance for more instructor feedback and, as a result, have been found to learn much, much faster.
If you have a passion for helping others, if you want to have a stable and well-paying job, if you are driven by a desire to enact change, and if you want the work you do to have a real impact, you should consider this field.
Flexibility. Optional Synchronous means our Public Administration courses can be attended together at one time with other students or on your own schedule. Many students prefer the learning that comes with live interactions, while other students love the flexibility of doing their course whenever it fits into their schedule.
The courses in this program are part of an exclusive partnership between ENC and Rize Education, which means you’ll be learning with students from your campus, as well as students from a selective consortium of schools across the country. That means you get to enjoy the small Christian college environment while also building a national network of people in your industry before you’ve even graduated.
Nope! Although Public Administration is a great path for those who wish to work for the government, opportunities in the private nonprofit sector and at big-name corporations are every bit as viable for grads.
We are offering these high demand, skills-focused programs through an innovative nationwide consortium of over 75 colleges and universities much like ENC. As a student in these programs, you enjoy the opportunity to attend a small Christian college while developing specialized skills that will prepare you for careers in some of today’s fastest-growing fields. In your major and your general education coursework, you will have the opportunity to develop a strong Christian worldview while the courses in the RIZE partnership programs will supplement that work by exposing you to industry experts who will teach you and students at other consortium institutions virtually. We refer to these programs as skilled pathways because they emphasize the in-demand skill-sets that employers are saying they need. Students who complete all of the courses in a particular program will have their completion of the courses recorded as a minor on their transcript upon graduation, but many of the individual courses and programs offer opportunities to complete industry certifications or prepare you to complete certification exams that can also be valuable additions to a resume.
