Area of Emphasis: Leadership in Public Service

How will an Emphasis in Leadership in Public Service Benefit Me?

Public service whether it is: local, county, or state government or non-profit is changing very rapidly.  The evolution of these entities is not only coming in the form of doing more with less, but transforming the entire way of doing business.  The 21st century public sector environment has grown very complex requiring a new set of competencies and skills necessary to carry out the job demands.  In this new environment it takes more than knowledge and experience to remain competitive.  Professionals in these jobs are succeeding and advancing with education and credentials that set them apart from those without a college degree.  Earning a Bachelor degree from UW-Green Bay may be the key to increased pay, promotion, job security, and professional success.
