MA/MS in Information combined with Public Administration (MI) (MPA)

Information combined with Public Administration (MI/MPA) is a combined-degree program offered jointly by Dalhousie University's Faculty of Management schools of Information Management and Public Administration, delivered in person on the Halifax campus with a September intake. The program pairs a Master of Information with a Master of Public Administration to address challenges at the intersection of technology and information management within the public sector. The Master of Information component is accredited by the American Library Association, and the Master of Public Administration component is accredited by the Canadian Association of Programs in Public Administration. The program is structured as a combined, course-based curriculum drawing on both degrees. The combined program runs three years or longer, full-time. Tuition is charged on a per-course basis and varies year to year rather than following a fixed master's schedule, with exact figures available from Student Accounts. Graduates are prepared for leadership and analyst roles spanning information management and public-sector administration, including in government, non-governmental organizations, and public-policy settings.
