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.

Nonprofit Management

Today the work of public service not only involves government but also over 1.4 million nonprofit organizations, from community service organizations, to charities, to foundations, managing over $3 trillion in assets. They employ some 10.7 million workers, roughly 10.1 percent of total private employment. Nonprofit organizations account for 9.2% of the wages and benefits paid in the U.S. They provide leadership and service opportunities for more than 25% of all Americans over 16 years of age. They add to the quality of life for all kinds of people with many different challenges. These are mission-driven and community-focused organizations that address critical needs on a daily basis. Today’s nonprofit executives bring together the qualities of the heart needed to identify and meet community needs with the well developed skills and knowledge needed to make things happen and sustain their organizations. 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.
