The richness of the Master of Public Administration program is in the diversity of the faculty, curriculum, and student body.
Students come together from a variety of work and educational settings.
While each group studies its particular area of specialization, students are brought together in the core classes, which leads to the uniqueness of the MPA program. Many times, identifying a problem or trend in one professional area creates new understanding in one's own profession. Most classes are scheduled in the evening or weekends to accommodate students who work full-time. The program requires 30 semester units not including the undergraduate foundation courses that vary with preparation. Students must complete all foundation courses before 15 units of graduate course-work are completed.
