Level 3 HBA Degree

Courses taken in the third level of the program offer sophisticated investigations of specialized areas in public administration. Successful completion of Level 3 leads to a BA (hon.) in Public Administration and Governance, which consists of 24 one-semester courses. Students with significant public sector experience, who have completed the Level 2 PAG Certificate, and have started taking course in PAG Level 3 Certificate, could be eligible to apply to enroll in the Practicum (PPA 50A/B), which reduces the number of courses required at this level to 17 one-semester courses. To determine eligibility to enroll in the practicum, a student must first complete an Employment Experience Assessment Form, which the Undergraduate Program Director reviews to determine eligibility for PPA 50A/B. In addition, PAG students considering the Practicum option are to have a minimum Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) of 2.67 B- at the time they apply to enroll in PPA 50A/B.
