What is the difference between an MPA and an MPP?
The MPA program offers a solid professional education designed to prepare students for all the challenges and opportunities of a career in public management. The MPP program helps build the skills and knowledge base required of a professional policy analyst. While the MPA tends to focus more on management-based courses and the MPP has a heavier emphasis on analytical coursework, both degrees through the available electives provide students the opportunity to take further coursework in management or analysis.
