The Master of Public Administration Program (MPA Program) is a broad based degree designed to prepare students for leadership roles in public organizations. The MPA Program emphasizes the critical areas of political institutions and processes, managerial and leadership concepts and skills, and analytical skills and techniques. It is anchored in both theory and application for those seeking to leverage their career progress and enhance their leadership potential.

The MPA Program is intended for practicing and aspiring administrators in public sector organizations, and is also an excellent degree for those in non-profit and voluntary sectors, and in private organizations that interact consistently with public agencies or which maintain government or public affairs offices. The degree also is useful for those whose career paths may move across sectors over a period of time. The degree - while based solidly in research and theory - emphasizes the practical application of modern technical, managerial, and leadership skills in a variety of settings.

Day, evening, online and Fort Bragg classes are offered in the MPA Program.
