Public Service Leadership Seminar Midcareer students must successfully complete 54 credits of graduate course work to receive the M.P.A. degree. Degree requirements include core courses, electives, and leadership seminars.
Students usually take two evening courses each quarter and graduate in three years.
Midcareer students do not have an internship or degree project requirement. Although summer attendance is not required, some students take electives during the summer quarter to reduce academic-year course loads. Core course work for midcareer students includes the integrated management sequence and budgeting in the first year, as well as microeconomics and quantitative analysis I and II in the second year. With the exception of budgeting, the materials within each year build upon one another and classes must be taken in sequence. The integrated management curriculum is designed by a team of Evans School faculty and distinguished practitioners.
