Master of Public Policy, Administration and Law - Municipal Government

York University

The public health and economic crisis related to the COVID-19 pandemic highlights that municipal (local and regional) governments, related boards and agencies, and non-profit organizations are at the forefront of not only service delivery but also responsiveness to community needs and accountability. The addition of the Municipal Government field to the MPPAL program will make the program more relevant to municipal employees. This course equips students with a thorough understanding of local and regional government in Canada, along with the research skills to critically investigate and evaluate municipal government policy, process, and management.
