MA/MS in Public Administration

The Master of Public Administration is delivered completely online and holds accreditation from the network of public policy and administration schools. Its asynchronous design gives working professionals structured coursework and deadlines without set login times. Students can follow an accelerated schedule or study part time, taking short eight-week courses. Concentration choices are ethical leadership, healthcare administration, and public and nonprofit management, and an advanced certificate can replace a concentration. The curriculum develops sector-specific management skills and explores the values that shape public service. New cohorts begin several times a year, and funding options include scholarships, grants and federal loans. The college is located in New York's Hudson Valley, north of New York City.
