Graduate Certificate in Public Policy and Public Administration

University of Houston

The Hobby School of Public Affairs and the Master of Public Administration Program offers a joint graduate certificate in public policy. The Graduate Certificate in Public Policy and Public Administration is meant to provide an overview of both public policy and public administration.Graduate certificates are an excellent way for students to earn additional academic credentials and relevant training in a shorter period of time compared to a full master’s degree. These graduate certificates require four approved courses that can also be counted towards either the Master of Public Policy or Master of Public Administration degree if students later apply and join one of these programs.
