No matter what our Master in Public Administration (MPA) graduates end up doing, their work reflects a common commitment to finding and creating solutions that influence societies and improve lives.
MPA graduates serve the public interest in leadership positions in their original professional fields or transition to careers in new fields or different sectors.
These positions include careers in government, at alternative energy firms, global development banks, nongovernmental organizations, multinational financial institutions, and leading strategic consulting firms. Whether in the public, nonprofit, or private sector, MPA graduates serve in positions that have public impact. They design and carry out new approaches to governance, using the skills they gained from the MPA Program to integrate across disciplines and sectors.
Our graduates turn ideas into action.
