Note: Courses listed for the Public Safety Emphasis have their own prefix­—EPS. All courses with the prefix “EPS” are part of the public administration program. In addition, many PAD core and elective courses are “cross-listed” with both EPS and PAD prefixes to enable students in the Public Safety Emphasis to take most public administration courses. Generally, students who are part of the Public Safety Emphasis should register for those courses that are listed with the prefix “EPS.” Students in the other public administration emphases should continue to register for “PAD” courses.
