What is one of the most important challenges facing working professionals entering the MPIA degree program?
Time management is the central issue that faces working professionals trying to obtain a degree part-time. Graduate school is a serious commitment and professors expect a professional engagement with course work by all class participants. Students should expect a three-hour course, and at least 100 pages of reading per week. You will need to adjust your professional and personal schedule to accommodate this level of intellectual work. In addition, if you have been away from university for a number of years you may face a little difficulty transitioning back to intellectual work. If you are unsure of your level of commitment or have concerns about the level of engagement required, be sure to discuss your concerns the MPIA Director.
