Public Service Leadership Seminar Midcareer students must successfully complete 54 credits of graduate course work to receive the M.P.A. degree. Degree requirements are divided between the integrated core sequence, 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. The integrated core sequence is a series of management and analysis courses required of all EDP students. Since the materials in these courses build upon each other, these classes must be taken in sequence. The integrated core curriculum is designed by a team of Evans School faculty and distinguished practitioners.
