The MPA degree requires students to complete 36 credit hours. Each student’s program includes six core courses, four elective courses, and a six credit-hour internship. Students who have full-time managerial employment in a relevant profession may apply for an internship waiver when applying to the MPA program. Students obtaining a waiver for the six credit-hour internship are required to choose a three credit-hour experiential skills course for a total of 33 credit hours.
MPA students should register for PLS501 Organizational Theory and Behavior during their first semester. PLS605 Capstone Seminar: Applied Public Management should be taken during students’ final Spring semester.
