PROGRAM AT A GLANCE:
Earn a Degree that will Enable a Rewarding Career in Public Service
The MPA program is designed to provide students with a comprehensive and holistic understanding of what is needed to be an effective public service leader. Students will explore the most critical areas of public administration including planning, financial budgeting, political analysis and personnel administration as well as contemporary issues in ethics, digital governance, NGOs and global governance.
Optional On-Campus Opportunities
The MPA program at UOnline is taught 100% online. However, students don’t have to sacrifice the networking opportunities they would receive if they attended the program on-campus. UOnline uniquely offers several in-person networking opportunities for students to make valuable connections with classmates, faculty members and industry influencers.
