Roosevelt University's MPA program offers concentrations in Health, Local Government, Nonprofit, and Environmental Administration. Students work with their faculty advisor to select a group of courses appropriate to their career goals. Who the Program Is Designed to Serve Roosevelt's MPA program largely serves working professionals, many of whom are returning to school years after earning their last degree. Classes are held evenings and Saturdays. The entire program is offered at both the Loop and Schaumburg campuses.
Classes are small and interactive, drawing on the extensive expertise of our students.
Instructors balance theory and practice. Full-time faculty are first and foremost teachers and advisors, but they are also researchers and consultants in their fields of interest. The faculty is augmented by adjuncts who are experienced public servants. Requirements Applicants with an undergraduate grade point average of 3.0 or higher are admitted based upon previous academic performance and evaluation of a one to two page essay outlining their goals and aspirations in seeking an MPA degree.
