In the first academic year of 1986: The Department of Public Administration was divided into two programs which are a bachelor's and master's degrees.
In the year 2002, there is an additional bachelor program for further advancement of education.
In the 2009 academic year, the department decided to stop the enrollment of the bachelor program for further advancement education, and remodel it into the executive master program of the third sector.
In the 2018 academic year, the department decides to merge the executive master program of the third sector with the EMPA program under the College of Social Science and split the bachelor program into two classes while increasing students' number of 20.

Purpose:
