MA/MS in Public Administration

The Master of Public Administration is delivered online and focuses on practical skills for work in government and nonprofit organizations. It welcomes people already serving in the field, those in the private sector and those hoping to enter public service. The curriculum balances theory with practice, covering problem solving, organizational management, and budget and resource management. Applicants need a bachelor's degree from a regionally accredited institution holding at least a 3.00 GPA, and official transcripts, with an evaluation of any study completed outside the United States. Offered by a public university in Framingham, Massachusetts, the program is aimed at adult learners who often study while working. The program page links to the curriculum, the graduate catalog and tuition information, and it names a coordinator whom prospective students can contact before applying.
