The MPA program prepares you for a wide range of positions in government and nonprofit organizations, with some graduates going on to successful careers in other fields such as consulting and think tanks. The program is open to persons from a wide range of academic and professional backgrounds. Our students include pre-service students who have not yet entered the workforce and are preparing for careers in government and nonprofit organizations, and in-service students who are already working and wish to improve their skills and career potential. The program offers career tracks in several fields, including local government management, financial management, evidence-based governance, emergency management, nonprofit management, and leadership and strategic management.
