Savar, Dhaka

Syllabus for Bachelor of Social Science

ContextPublic administration came out as a separate discipline in the late 19 thcentury to objectively

study the implementation of public policies. Therefore, organization and management

theories along with courses in political science and sociology were the main focus of

teaching. With the behavioral revolution in conomics and !anagement in the mid"#$ th

century, public administration ac%nowledged the importance of individual and group

behavior in policy implementation, and therefore put emphasis in studying organizational and

administrative behavior. Tremendous fiscal stress on governments around the world in the

late #$thcentury influenced public administration to focus on the %nowledge of economics for

efficient policy implementation as well as help policy ma%ers formulate better policies.

&eeping this in mind, we redesigned this syllabus in a way so that our students have ade'uate

e(posure in the study of organizational and management theories, organizational andadministrative behavior, economics and econometrics, political science, sociology and law.

We hope that this blend of %nowledge will ma%e our students better decision ma%ers and

effective managers, especially in the public sector.
