IN-DEPH

Master's Degree in Public Policy and Management

ABOUT THE

Program

The program aims to consolidate the professionalization of public management in northeastern Colombia, a region where a large percentage of public servants have no university education or specific knowledge of state management.

In particular, this master’s degree seeks to influence the improvement of state management through the training of highly qualified officials both to improve the quality of public services and to design public policies that meet the needs of the region and the country.

For years, the program has fulfilled its objective of promoting interest among public officials in contributing to the renewal of the administrative practices of the State.

Qualified registration: Resolution of the Ministry of National Education (MEN) No. 018720 dated October 5, 2020, with a validity of 7 years.
