About Us

The MPA programs emphasize social change and democratic governance—perfect for the student who wants to make the world a better place.
We designed our Master of Public Administration graduate program for busy adults—in fact, you can get your MPA in as little as two years while attending classes in the evening and on weekends.
Our Mission and Philosophy
Our students, faculty and staff create learning communities to explore and implement
socially just, democratic public service. We
• think critically and creatively;
• communicate effectively;
• work collaboratively;
• embrace diversity;
• value fairness and equity;
• advocate powerfully on behalf of the public; and
• imagine new possibilities in order to accomplish positive change in our workplace
and in our communities.
