Pre-Public Administration


Professor Craig Ramsay

THE PRE-PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION MAJOR major prepares students for graduate work which leads to a master’s or doctoral degree in the field. Graduate work also may lead to a career in local, state, national, or international administration in such fields as planning, organization, personnel, finance, and communication.

This is normally a four-year interdepartmental major. Students who major in pre-public administration must complete a second major in a traditional course of study. A general description of Ohio Wesleyan’s pre-professional programs appears in the catalog under Degrees and Special Programs.
