Course Description:

The Master of Public Administration (MPA) program offers graduates the knowledge of values, roles, skills and practices that will help them become competent professionals capable of ethical, intelligent and creative leadership in the public service.

The MPA faculty are based in several academic disciplines, offer a variety of philosophical and practical approaches to public administration, and boast a wide range of scholarly interests.

Enrollment in our courses ranges from 4 to 20 students with an average class size around 12. Classes meet once per week in the evening for two hours, either at 5:20 or 7:30 p.m. Full-time enrollment is usual three courses per semester, and we will welcome part-time students as well.

The MPA Program is fully accredited by the National Association of Schools of Public Affairs and Administration (NASPAA).

The types of courses offered are periodically updated to reflect trends in the study of public administration as well as faculty expertise and interests. Individual research courses are reserved for advanced students with specific needs not met by available elective course work. Students also must pass a written comprehensive examination to complete the degree.

Approval for the individual research course must be obtained from the MPA Director. The MPA Director may also permit you to take up to four elective courses from other graduate programs in order to help you personalize your degree.
