Public life is regarded as the crown of a career, and to young men it is the worthiest ambition.
Politics is still the greatest and the most honorable adventure. Students typically have a minimum of three to five years of increasingly responsible work experience, with at least one year of management, administrative or leadership responsibilities. A supervised internship is required of students lacking the minimum work experience. The goal of this professional program is to develop administrators who can effectively address the varied managerial, economic and political aspects of public issues and programs. These alumni provide invaluable mentoring and networking opportunities to current M.P.A. students.
