A career spent helping others used to mean low wages, undesirable conditions, and a career-stifling bureaucracy typically associated with government employment. Thankfully, this scenario is changing. As we all face new, larger challenges, the U.S. government is actively reaching out to a larger network of public and private organizations to help individual citizens in need and tackle global problems. Career opportunities in public service and public administration are expanding rapidly, with much of the growth occurring in private companies, non-profit groups, and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) that are working with the government to create the “New Public Sector.”

Public administration degrees, like those offered online at Anna Maria College, can be keys to career success in this area. Whereas a master’s degree in public administration may have only been associated with government employment, the degree is now highly sought-after in the private sector as well, with many positions offering outstanding salaries and comprehensive benefits.

The ability to earn a public policy and administration degree online is a tremendous advantage to both up-and-coming and established professionals who want to achieve maximum success while honoring personal goals to improve the lives of others.
