MA/MS in Public Administration

DePaul's Master of Public Administration prepares students to serve the public good and promote fairness, reflecting the university's Vincentian roots. It is built for people already working in government and for those aiming at public-sector careers. Students gain wide knowledge of how government operates at the local, state, national and international levels. They can follow a standard track or specialize in areas including cybersecurity, emergency management, metropolitan planning and urban affairs, or management of public organizations at home and abroad. The degree carries accreditation from the national association of public affairs schools. Its mission is to develop the managerial, technical and leadership abilities that public servants need to run government services responsibly and fairly.
