Put yourself up for a promotion by earning a Master of Public Administration degree part-time, online and in just 24 months.
Courses are designed with the working student in mind. Accessible 24/7, the 100% online courses are easy to navigate from anywhere, at anytime. An advisment center designed to assist distance education students is available, and program faculty regularly check-in to assist students remotely.
Each semester, total tuition and fee costs for the 36 credit hour program are $2,610. Financial aid and scholarships are available to those who qualify. Graduates with a Master of Public Administration degree are expected to earn an average of $18k more per year than with a bachelor's degree alone, making for an excellent return on investment.
The interdisciplinary curriculum focuses on managing, leading, and administering vital public services and public safety functions with an emphasis on ethical considerations, communications, strategic planning, public policy issues, and research methods. Graduates are prepared to advance in their respective fields armed with a deeper understanding of leadership in the public sector.
Each year, a cohort of only 25 students is admitted to the MPS Program. Throughout the first year, the cohort will attend core courses together before breaking into electives and emphases the second year. Smaller class sizes and the cohort model facilitate networking between students and instructors to build long-lasting relationships and career connections.
