We have asked a couple of our recent grads to tell us about their PAPM experience before they go off to bigger and better things. Madeleine Lawler is graduating in June 2020 with a Bachelor of Public Affairs and Policy Management with a Specialization in Public Policy and Administration and Concentrating in Social Policy. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“One of the most valuable and enjoyable parts of my PAPM experience was the interdisciplinary nature of the program. Unlike other majors, with PAPM, you take a variety of courses from different disciplines. During my PAPM degree, I took classes in economics, political science, law, public administration, history, and even social work and geography. I enjoyed this diversity because it enabled me to look at issues that I cared about through a variety of perspectives. The diversity of classes had another benefit as well \u2013 while there are some classes I took with only other PAPM students, the interdisciplinary approach made me interact with peers from multiple majors. Looking back, the variety of classes gave me a well-rounded academic background that I am extremely thankful for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another valuable part of the PAPM experience was the location in Ottawa. I decided to come to Carleton in PAPM because of the opportunities available \u2013 I figured if I was to study public policy, it was best to do it in the nation\u2019s capital. My experience with PAPM and Ottawa lived up to these expectations: during my degree, I had the chance to intern with a Member of Parliament and to work for various parts of the federal civil service (including the Canada Revenue Agency and the Library of Parliament). I made the choice to study PAPM because I thought the program would give me the skills and knowledge in public policy to make change in the community I came from. Upon graduating, I can say that PAPM exceeded my expectations in this regard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After graduation, I will be attending law school at l\u2019Universit\u00e9 de Montr\u00e9al.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
