Introduction: 民國47年本校在政治學系下設「人事行政組」,民國51年改名為「公共行政組」。民國52年正式從政治系獨立成為公共行政學系,民國53年研究所碩士班正式招生,並於民國78年成立博士班。民國84年,配合大學法施行,公共行政學系與研究所合一,統稱公共行政學系。 Spinning off from Department of Political Science, Department of Public Administration (DPA) was established in 1963. The DPA is the first public-administration specialized university department in Taiwan. It now offers bachelor’s, master’s and PhD degree programs. Over 300 students are now enrolled in the three programs.
