The subjects taught in “Master in Public Administration” program are targeted to the existing civil servants, aspiring civil servants, NGOs, Donor Agencies, International Humanitarian Agencies(like Red cross, MSF) and  International Developing agencies like UN, World Bank etc. However, there are some generic subjects like Macro and Micro Economics, Development Economics, Organizational Development and Management, and Public Policy Analysis, which could be useful in several places.  So, please look at your career goal and then select the subject
