In addition the Graduate Record Examination must be on record at our school by the students graduation date from the MPA program. Applications are accepted year-round. Given the scheduling of courses, completion of all degree requirements could be completed in under two years. The admissions decision is based on a variety of factors including but not limited to previous academic work, preparation for studying public administration or political science, the candidate's commitment to public service, work experience, test results, writing skills, and letters of reference. Students with a complete application will be considered for admission to the MPA program as a matriculated student.
Students can also pursue the degree as a non-degree applicant .
This admissions process is reviewed on a case by case scenario and all applicant decisions will receive a letter indicating the type of acceptance into the program or denial.
