WHAT CAN I DO WITH A MASTER'S DEGREE IN PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION?

Whether you are just entering the workforce or looking to take your career to the next step, the MPA will help you advance both personally and professionally. Our program focuses on integrating theory and practice to ensure that students emerge from this program with an education grounded in research and nourished through real-world experience. We prepare students beginning their careers to be competent and effective leaders in public affairs, and mid-career students to enhance their capacities as managers and leaders through the opportunities provided for reflection and integration of new knowledge. The core curriculum provides the skills and knowledge desired by employers today, while our specialization options allow you to hone your abilities in a 15-credit area focus of your choice. Our students engage in community learning experiences throughout their degree. Many courses pair students with public organizations to complete program evaluations, provide technical assistance, and otherwise analyze public administration in action. These students devote significant hours as part of class teams, engage in short-term internships, and/or work in organizations or public agencies through their culminating field-based organizational experience.

Natural Resources Policy and Administration

Preserving our planet and its natural resources while using those same resources responsibly in our daily lives is one of the most critically important public leadership and policy issues today. Our graduates are executives and policymakers in agencies from the U.S. EPA and Fish & Wildlife Service to special districts at the local government level. Whether the discussion is about air, water, endangered species, toxic wastes, or climate change, our faculty, graduates, and students are engaged and active. We don’t have worry about how to think outside the box because we’ve never let ourselves or our students get into one! Collaborative policymaking for natural resource management is critical; our graduates are there when the policy is made and when leadership challenges and opportunities require action. We carry Senator Hatfield’s principles of public service to advance Oregon’s commitment to its natural beauty and resources. Along with specialty courses, we offer one of the strongest sets of skill development courses of any MPA program in the nation such as project management, contract management, strategic planning, program and policy evaluation, sustainable development implementation, and more.
