The School of Public Affairs and Administration offers graduate courses, seminars, and workshops designed to prepare Master of Public Administration (MPA) and Doctor of Philosophy in Public Administration (Ph.D.) degree candidates for leadership positions with public and independent sector agencies. The School also offers for undergraduate students a minor in Nonprofit Leadership with a certification in American Humanics.

The American Humanics certification can be accomplished two ways at WMU-as a stand-alone certificate with a major and minor in any discipline or as part of a minor in Nonprofit Leadership through the School of Public Affairs and Administration. The minor in Nonprofit Leadership is described below; the stand-alone certificate in American Humanics is described in the College of Arts and Sciences section of this catalog under the general heading of Interdisciplinary Programs, American Humanics Program.
