No work commitment is required of fellowship students. All full-time MPA applicants must submit a complete application by March 15th. These applicants may be considered for Graduate Associateship positions. Graduate Associateships provide full coverage of fees and tuition, offer a monthly stipend, and require 20 hours per week work in an administrative or research capacity. All part-time MPA students must submit a complete application by June 15th.
Earlier deadlines apply for international students.
Please consult the Admissions Office for these dates. Full-time students are encouraged to apply for autumn quarter admission. Part-time students may begin any quarter, although course choices will be more limited. The sequencing of the foundation courses is such that autumn quarter admission is optimal. Please be aware that beginning in any other quarter will extend the time it takes to complete your degree.
