Governance, Law and Management (Online)

Organizations have shifted from "command and control" management to flexibility, innovation and lifelong learning. The Bachelor of Professional Arts in Governance, Law and Management (BPA-GLM) is a degree-completion program that will prepare you for success in today’s knowledge-based economy. Athabasca University’s BPA-GLM is designed for recent diploma graduates and mid-career professionals who want to pursue careers in the public, voluntary or non-profit sectors. This interdisciplinary program will give you an understanding of the social forces and environment that shape modern governance, legal institutions and the differences in power among groups in society, AND the skills needed to take on leadership roles in public sector organizations. A variety of courses in each focus area means you can create a relevant degree that meets your professional needs. As Justice is an elective stream, the BPA-GLM is also a good choice if you want to apply to law school after graduation.
