Event Details
The Master of Public
Affairs (MPA) for mid-career professionals was established in 1999 and can be completed in one calendar year
of full-time enrollment. The core curriculum emphasizes leadership and
policymaking theory and practice, and students design their own area of
concentration around their career interests. The MPA prepares students
to assume leadership positions, make career changes, and enhance current
work skills. Are you ready to go back to school? Designed for mid-career professionals with the equivalent of 10 or
more years of professional experience, the MPA recognizes your work and
life experience. The program faculty and staff also understand students'
concerns about going back to school when they already are on a career
track or after many years away from academic pursuits. We-and your
fellow students- will help you every step of the way. Yes, returning to
school and balancing other commitments is challenging. But if career
advancement, change and rejuvenation, or deepening your capacity to
bring effective solutions to public problems is your goal, then the Humphrey School is the right choice. And the MPA is the right program. Can you find the time? Yes you can. The MPA is a 30-credit degree program. Because it's designed for
mid-career professionals, the framework is flexible and efficient.
Tailor your program to your career and life choices. How will earning an MPA from the Humphrey School help your career? The program is highly regarded by students, employers, community
leaders, and policymakers. Faculty and fellows at the Humphrey School
come from diverse fields of intellectual and public life. They are well
connected in the public, private, and nonprofit sectors. The 2001 "Best
Graduate Schools" issue of U.S. News & World Report ranked
the Humphrey School among the top public affairs schools at public
universities. The same publication ranked our nonprofit management
program third in the nation among all such programs. What do MPA graduates do? This mid-career program has proven effective in helping students
change careers and move to the next level in their current careers.

internationally in such jobs as:
