The Master of Public Administration degree is a 36 to 39 credit program designed
to prepare students for management careers in the public and non-profit sector. The MPA
degree requires supervisory or management experience in the field. Students
starting the program with such experience may apply for a waiver of the required MPA 8010, a
three-credit internship. Otherwise, students are required to complete the
internship, which will then give them 39 credits towards their program. Students work with the MPA Director to arrange internships.
