The Arkansas Public Administration Consortium (APAC) is dedicated to improving the quality of public services in Arkansas. This work is accomplished through management training for current and future leaders of government agencies and nonprofit organizations.

APAC training is in-depth and aims to develop the practical skills required of public managers. Instructors are vetted carefully. They have significant knowledge of their subject area through work and/or teaching experience. Training includes high levels of interaction to apply content to participants’ professional lives.

Certificate programs require capstone experiences where participants apply the skills they have developed to their own professional lives. These programs are regularly reviewed by subject-matter experts to ensure that they align with current best practices.

As a Consortium of Arkansas’s Master of Public Administration (MPA) programs, APAC also serves as a link between the programs and the work of public organizations.
