Public Sector Management (BMgmt)

Dalhousie’s Bachelor of Management program starts by giving students a foundation in business and management, helping them develop the skills they need to organize and lead teams and to respond to internal and external pressures.   

As a Public Sector Management major, you will build on this foundation by exploring how to create a good society and how to balance justice with order.

The public sector is made up of governments and their agencies, from the international to the local levels. It includes other publicly funded bodies, such as hospitals, schools, government corporations (e.g. CBC, Canada Post, Art Gallery of Nova Scotia, etc.) and many not-for-profit organizations. Graduates from this major hold various positions in municipal, provincial, and federal government, as well as the not-for-profit and private sectors.

You can continue your studies with a master's degree in areas like information management; public administration; or resource and environmental management.
