Training Course:Local Government Administration (Master Degree)School/Trainer:Florida State University
Tallahassee, Florida, United States
Course Format: Classroom | E-learning | Virtual Class | Online | On-site | Blended | Self-paced
Course Description:
'' Many of our students begin their careers in local government and many of those never leave the field of local government administration. Some become city or county managers and others build careers in various staff and management positions in local government agencies, special districts, councils of government, and so on. State and federal agencies need people with local government experience, so it is often easy for graduates who are well prepared and experienced in local government administration to move to state or federal agencies. Vice versa is not true, as local governments prefer persons with local government experience. Local governments are where many of the most critical services are delivered and they offer the satisfaction of seeing things being accomplished.
This specialization introduces the student to the policy environment in which the local manager must operate. Experienced local administrators have always told us (without exception) that additional study beyond the core course is needed in financial management. Many city/county managers started their careers in budget offices. They also emphasize the importance of other courses in such topics as organization development (to build teamwork), intergovernmental relations, and collective bargaining.
In rapidly growing locations such as we have in Florida, studies related to land use and growth management enhance a student’s career potential by giving them knowledge to deal with local environmental, economic, and community development issues. (The dual degree with Urban and Regional Planning, 66 semester hours total, offers a unique opportunity to begin a career in local government with a range of knowledge and skills possessed by very few persons.) Local governments have also begun to emphasize the importance of computer skills for entry-level positions. Interested students should seek advice from the program faculty listed below.
