MPA Public Administration

The Master of Public Administration (MPA) degree provides graduate professional education for students interested in public service leadership positions and careers with public and nonprofit agencies and organizations. The program serves students new to public service as well as those already in the field who are interested in furthering their careers.

To learn more about our renowned faculty, please view their bios on the School of Public Affairs website.

The School of Public Affairs offers three distinct ways to complete the MPA:

• Accelerated MPA
• Executive MPA
• Traditional MPA

Students pursing the executive and traditional options may also choose to designate a concentration within one of the optional focus areas or complete the MPA without a specified concentration. Students in the accelerated format are not able to choose a concentration due to the cohort nature of the program and sequencing of classes.
