Abstract
Graduate public administration programs at Canadian universities have seen significant growth and change over the last fifteen years. This research note assesses current programming and considers recent developments. We argue that Canadian public administration programs exhibit diversity and that they are responsive to key trends and forces shaping society. To support these claims, we compare program curriculums and highlight distinguishing features. We suggest in closing, though, that further adjustments are required for programs to take advantage of arising opportunities and to remain resilient in the face of new challenges.

Canadian Public Administration/Administration publique du Canada is the refereed scholarly publication of the Institute of Public Administration of Canada (IPAC). It covers executive, legislative, judicial and quasi-judicial functions at all three levels of Canadian government. Published quarterly, the journal focuses mainly on Canadian issues but also welcomes manuscripts which compare Canadian public sector institutions and practices with those in other countries or examine issues in other countries or international organizations which are of interest to the public administration community in Canada.
