Leadership in the Public Sector (BA): Distance Education

This is an archived copy of the 2024-2025 catalog. To access the most recent version of the catalog, please visit .

The Leadership in the Public Sector (LPS) program is the only undergraduate online program offered at NC State for non-traditional transfer students. It was specifically created to provide students with a liberal arts foundation in the ethical, theoretical, and policy analytical skills necessary to be effective leaders in public and nonprofit sector organizations. LPS will give students the knowledge and skills needed for success in government, education, nonprofit organizations and the public sector, as well as credentials that will prepare you for graduate school.

The primary premise of the program is that exercising effective leadership in the public sector has unique features that make leadership more challenging but ultimately more rewarding than leadership in the private sector. LPS graduates earn a B.A degree that is equal in academic quality and rigor to any other NC State 腦瞳排桴 degree. LPS graduates find career opportunities in public and nonprofit organizations, as well as private firms, or seek advanced degrees in political science, public administration, nonprofit sector management, and law.

Plan Requirements

LPS is an online degree completion program for non-traditional students, and cannot accept traditional students who are currently enrolled in a regular degree program. Incoming students may transfer a maximum of 72 credit hours of college course work. Transfer credit should include a sufficient number of courses to satisfy the general education component of the major. In addition, transfer students must have taken and passed a college level Math course and a college level English course comparable to our ENGL 101 (4 hrs.).

*

LPS is an online degree completion program for non-traditional students, and cannot accept traditional students who are currently enrolled in a regular degree program. Incoming students may transfer a maximum of 72 credit hours of college course work. Transfer credit should include a sufficient number of courses to satisfy the general education component of the major. In addition, transfer students must have taken and passed a college level Math course and a college level English course comparable to our ENGL 101 (4 hrs.).


Grade Point Average (GPA) Requirements: Students admitted into the B.A. in Leadership in the Public Sector program will be expected to maintain a minimum overall GPA of 2.0. Courses used to complete the Major Field of Study must be completed with a C- or better. A 2.0 GPA in the major is required.

Career Opportunities

A degree in Leadership in the Public Sector can help students advance their career through educational attainment and provide an excellent foundation for several career泭options. Nonprofit and government employers are looking for graduates with a bachelors degree from NC State 腦瞳排桴.泭LPS graduates find career opportunities in public and nonprofit organizations, and further their education in fields such as political science, public administration, nonprofit sector management, and law. Other graduates泭often use the degree program to earn the credentials required for career advancement, transition from military service to civilian leadership, or work at a higher education institution.

Students can use the degree as a first step for acquiring teaching accreditation or to pursue a career in government. Both of these fields are expected to be in heavy demand in the foreseeable future. Other students are already fully engaged in their careers and would like to complete their bachelors to further their career potential, or they may plan to complete their LPS degree and continue their education and future career opportunities by applying to graduate school.
