Course Overview

As a member of the National Association of Schools of Public Affairs and Administration (NASPAA), we seek to provide well-educated leaders for public and nonprofit agencies and to improve the knowledge and credentials of administrators already employed in these organizations.

The 39-42-credit curriculum is designed to provide graduates with conceptual, analytic, and managerial skills for dealing with a variety of public service administration situations. (Students in the Executive program can be awarded advanced standing with evidence of professional development education.)

The program is enriched with a project-based curriculum. The project-based MPA emphasizes group work, problem-solving, and building a portfolio of accomplishment. It integrates accomplished practitioners with accomplished academics to give you the best of both worlds. Many of these courses take place on weekends where you and your cohort are asked to work together to offer policy recommendations, map solutions, and collaborate on research.

Program Outcomes

We expect certain professional competencies of our MPA graduates:

  • Communication — An SPGA graduate will demonstrate the ability to prepare and deliver effective oral presentations and or write documents that present and evaluate information and opinion in a logical and analytical manner, incorporating research and documentation, and using style, grammar, mechanics, and/or format appropriate to an educated audience.
  • Critical Thinking — A SPGA graduate will demonstrate competency in critical thinking that encompasses dimensions of informal logic and ethical analysis. Students are expected to be open-minded and rational, as they apply information based on evidence.
  • Information Literacy — A SPGA graduate will demonstrate the ability to carry out thorough and effective information search strategies using traditional print, digital, and internet sources, evaluate information accessed, and use this information along with existing knowledge to create something new. This includes the ability to recognize what information is needed to resolve an issue; the ability to identify and locate that information; and effectively use the information to resolve the issue.
  • Strategic Orientation — A SPGA graduate will demonstrate the ability to develop, implement, coordinate, and/or manage a plan through a collaborative process. This will require them to understand the big picture and develop goals and objectives as well as action steps to reach that vision.
