ArticlePublisher: Toronto : IPAC, Fall 2004Canadian Public Administration : the journal of the Institute of Public Administration of Canada 47, 3, p. 379-405Abstract: Sixteen Canadian masters programs of public administration, management or policy were compared in terms of institutional location, admission and degree requirements and compulsory curriculum. Only basic programs were included; joint degrees or specialized programs in specialized fields (like international or development administration) were omitted because they make comparison extremely difficult. Even the programs retained vary greatly in duration and content. Certain clusters of orientation and emphasis are evident. In comparison with the curriculum standards of the American National Association of Schools and Programs of Public Affairs and Administration (NASPAA), Canadian schools tend to emphasize policy at the expense of management
