Government & Public Administration
Government affects Americans in countless ways. In a democratic society, government is the means of expressing the public will. This includes a variety of activities. In fact, virtually every occupation can be found within government. There are, however, some activities that are unique to government.
The federal government defends us from foreign aggression; represents American interests abroad; deliberates, passes and enforces laws; and administers many different programs.
State and local governments pass laws or ordinances and provide vital services to constituents. There are many opportunities in government in every career area.
