Public Administration

PACE is committed to supporting professionals who are passionate about making a meaningful difference through public service and nonprofit leadership. Our programs are designed to equip individuals with the knowledge, skills and confidence needed to lead effectively in mission-driven organizations and government agencies.

One of our cornerstone offerings is the Nonprofit Management Certificate, a program that provides practical, real-world training in essential areas such as organizational leadership, fundraising, financial management, and strategic planning. These are core competencies for anyone seeking to manage or grow a nonprofit organization, navigate public sector challenges, or influence policy and community development. Through a combination of theoretical learning and hands-on application, students gain the tools needed to address complex social issues and deliver lasting impact.

Our courses are designed with the needs of working professionals in mind. With flexible scheduling and online options, participants can balance their education with personal and professional responsibilities. Whether you are an early-career professional, a mid-level manager, or someone seeking to pivot into the nonprofit or public administration fields, our programs offer a clear pathway for growth.
