In addition to the required courses, the social administration concentration offers several other courses organized within three clusters: Community Organizing, Planning, and Development; Management; and Policy Planning, Analysis and Advocacy. In choosing electives, students are strongly encouraged to focus their study by selecting the recommended courses from one of the clusters.
