University of Ottawa

The public administration program participates in the Collaborative Specialization in Science, Society and Policy at the master’s level. The collaborative specialization was created to enable students to enrich their education in public administration by adding the interdisciplinary dimension of Science, Society and Policy.The objective of the collaborative specialization in Science, Society and Policy is to provide students with the knowledge and skills needed to evaluate the challenges confronting decision making at the interface of science and policy. Students will have an opportunity to explore how evidence is used in decision-making, how current policies shape the scientific enterprise, and how emerging technologies interact with society.
