Public Administration focuses on state and local administrationof public programs and policy. Emergency Management emphasis provides the knowledge to manage and mitigate the physical and human consequences of natural and human-caused hazards. Law Enforcement/Fire Science emphasis prepares a student to understand public organizations and to utilize that knowledge to manage, plan and administer public policy in the areas of police and fire science. The policy and Politics emphasis develops the skills to adapt to changing political and social conditions, and function as well- informed, politically and morally sensitive administrators and citizens who think critically and ethically about the purpose, design and function of government organizations. However, the focus is broader focusing not only on thedevelopment and implementation of public policy at the national level but provideda broader understanding of policies in general.

PLEASE NOTE:

If there are fewer than eight enrollments in the training program, only the "Enrollments" number will be displayed; all other data is hidden in order to help protect the students' identities. The "Employment Outcomes" are calculated using information from Wisconsin's Unemployment Insurance Wage database. Most employers are required to report certain employment information to the State of Wisconsin, including quarterly wage information for their employees. Students whose information could not be verified in this database are excluded from these outcomes. If a "0" shows for any of these outcomes, it means that none of the students' information could be verified.

MAKING SENSE OF THE EMPLOYMENT OUTCOMES:

"Average quarterly wages" means the total wages earned in a three-month period by all students who completed the program ("completers"), divided by the total number of completers.

"Median quarterly wages" means all the completers' quarterly wages are placed in order from lowest to highest and then we identify the student's wages in the middle. This information is provided because averages can be greatly influenced by really high and low wage earners.

To estimate monthly wages, divide the quarterly wages by three.
