The primary objective of the MPA Program is to provide professional training in public and non-profit administration. The curriculum emphasizes the development of administrative and analytical skills. Students develop mastery through applied techniques and administrative exercises appropriate to the management of government, nonprofit, and arts-related organizations.

MPA students have the option to concentrate their studies in several specialized areas:

• Non-Profit Management
• Urban Management & Policy
• Arts Administration
• Emergency Management

Certificates are available to students wanting specialized training within Non-Profit Management , and Emergency Management; but not necessarily interested in pursuing a Masters degree.

The MPA Program is accredited by the National Association of Schools of Public Affairs and Administration (NASPAA).
