"I am enjoying this program. It has been both a helpful update of material that I learned in graduate school as well as a source of useful new information. My City has already benefited from some of the networking opportunities I have enjoyed as a participant in this program. I can recommend the Michigan Certified Public Manager Program at Saginaw Valley State University without hesitation."

"Like many part-time public servants, I find it extremely challenging to balance family life, career responsibilities, and public service. Continuing education can sometimes be an overwhelming option that is commonly not chosen. The Michigan Certified Public Manager program offered at SVSU has embraced these challenges and developed a framework of online and onsite coursework that allows for busy professionals to participate and grow. I would recommend anyone looking to expand their knowledge and experience in the public arena to look at this course seriously. I assure you that you will find in invaluable, feasible, and achievable."

The online delivery format is ideal for communicating ideas, sharing ideas and experiences, and learning from prominent figures in the state of Michigan. There is no question that professionals that engage in this curriculum will gain up-to-date information and understanding of their role as managers in public administration.
