Master of Public Affairs
The School of Public Policy graduate programs will give you the knowledge, skills, and experience you need to solve problems for the common good and become a leader in government, the nonprofit world, or the private sector. The mix of online and in-person classes of the one-year master of public affairs (MPA) allows you to move quickly and affordably toward pursuing your professional goals. The two-year master of public policy and administration (MPPA) provides a strong analytical foundation that can be applied to a wide variety of policy fields. MPPA students can opt to pursue a dual degree in business administration, public health, higher education, or regional planning. Both programs are open to full- and part-time students.
