Overview

At the University of Regina, we offer a Public Policy and Administration degree. Canadian governing bodies—Indigenous, federal, provincial, and municipal—rely on the expertise, experience and nonpartisan leadership of individuals working within its institutions and communities to investigate problems and options, design and implement solutions, and administer and evaluate programs that serve citizen needs.

Features

As communities and as individuals, we all benefit when they employ policy professionals from diverse backgrounds who are strategic, innovative, collaborative, and entrepreneurial in their thinking.

If you are interested in a fulfilling career that delivers community impact, we encourage you to explore graduate studies available through the Johnson Shoyama Graduate School of Public Policy.
