Administration

The head of an organization.


The guidance of an undertaking toward the achievement of its purpose. Administration and management are so similar and irregularly distinguished that they may be considered synonymous, although they have been distinguished by applying administration to public activities and management to private, or by describing one as concerned with the making of broad policy and the other as concerned with the execution of that policy once formulated.


A division of the federal government; a subdivision within a department. For example, the Food and Drug Administration is part of the Public Health Service, which in turn is within the Department of Health and Human Services.


The dispensing or application of a therapeutic agent.
