Introduction

The diversification and specialization of modern society demands a dynamic and practical perspective of the world that is far from static thinking. Digitization, localization, and globalization are recognized as irreversible trends of the times, and the Department of Public Administration is actively responding to these requests. Public administration is a representative division of practical social science aimed at identifying the nature of administrative phenomena in governments and large organizations, democratizing administrations, and streamlining and improving citizens' quality of life.

Public administration is a core academic field for the management of modern states and large-scale organizations. It balances values and science by acknowledging political phenomena but thinks about practicality, pursuing efficiency but keeping democracy and equity in mind at the same time. Accordingly, the Department of Public Administration focuses on the development of comprehensive capabilities that can provide solutions to the complex administrative problems we face by researching and analyzing administrative phenomena based on our knowledge of public administration and adjacent social sciences.
