Whats the difference between the Masters of Public Administration (MPA) and the Executive Masters of Public Administration programs?
The Executive MPA program is designed for a select group of managers who either work in or with the public sector. We believe that the program’s rigorous curriculum and its hands-on approach to policy and management problem solving will be of great use to executives in the nonprofit sector, in government, and in the parts of the private sector that work closely with governments and nonprofit groups. The program meets on Saturdays during the school year and on Tuesday and Thursday nights during the summer. The full-time MPA is a more traditional two year full-time program designed for students who have had some work experience but are not settled in their careers.
