100 Percent Online
The Master of Public Administration (MPA) degree at Northern Michigan University is unique in that it is offered 100 percent online.
The program is designed for both in-service and pre-service students. MPA students will expand their theoretical understanding of the field of public administration and develop essential competency in basic methodological and technical areas. Students also select a concentration in a sub-field that will advance their career expertise. The program offers concentrations in the areas of criminal justice administration, human resource administration, state and local government, and public management.
MPA Program Requirements
Students must satisfy the designated core requirements, area of concentration, electives, and complete either a capstone or thesis. Pre-service students (those without one year of prior relevant work experience) are required to enroll in a public administration internship. In-service students (those with one or more years of prior relevant work experience) may request exemption from the internship requirement.
