This policy
and management program seeks to inspire students to the highest
ideals of citizenship and public service. It offers students the
opportunity to acquire professional and political knowledge and
skills, together with consideration of ethical issues, necessary
for effective public service. As a result, graduates of these
programs bring intellectual acuity, moral commitment and professional
competence to the public work force.
Accredited
by the National Association of School of Public Affairs and Administration,
the 42-credit curriculum of the Master of Public Administration
(MPA) program offers two tracks:
- The traditional
Master of Public Administration Program, that prepares students
as managers, analysts, and policy specialists within government
agencies and non-profit organizations; or
- The Master
of Public Administration-Inspector General Program, that prepares
students to apply the core disciplines and perspectives of public
administration from an oversight perspective.
