Certified Public Manager Program

KU Public Management Center

What Our Graduates Are Saying About Us

"I rate the quality of instructors, assignments, reading materials, interactive learning environments, and relevance of the CPM program an A+. I also give the CPM program an A+ for value to me as a professional and to my agency. I am proud to be a graduate."

"The instruction we received was applied so inspirationally that it became very personal. Each class was taught with an enormous amount of conviction and enthusiasm. Every agency needs a wake-up call to freshen the staff, encourage creativity, and remind staff that they are a viable part of this big picture. Your staff showed this eloquently."

"The Kansas Certified Public Manager program was a resource rich in the nuts and bolts of management principles and practice, legislative process, civil service design and structure, and other essential organizational behavior components."
