Overview |

The Public Administration Program at the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa (UHM) offers a graduate certificate program in public
administration. The certificate is a year-long program designed
to accommodate individuals at a point in their public service
career where they want to reflect on what they or their agency
are doing, but who are not necessarily interested in pursuing
a master's degree.
For more information about the Public Administration Program,
see MA in public administration.
