CHALLENGING TIMES: 

Today’s public sector decision makers find themselves in situations demanding rapid response among competing possibilities, contradictory recommendations and conflicting objectives. 

A Master’s Degree in Public Affairs helps professionals develop sophisticated judgment and well-honed management skills. This is partly why Commander Thad Allen, a MPA, was so successful with Hurricane Katrina relief efforts. 

Hard-edged skills, blazing confidence, and sturdy ethics, are needed now more than ever before. Across America there is a strong desire to find the brightest leaders, boldest managers and smartest staff to work in the increasingly demanding public sector consisting of:

Government, Nonprofits, International Organizations, & Contractors/Consultants

THE CRITICAL LINK: EMPLOYERS: 

We need a workforce that can deliver. Employers are the link between challenges and solutions. Whether working directly in government or outside of it, employers need qualified people to move ahead. Hiring our graduates increases the odds for success.

The Master of Public Administration, the MPA (or Master of Public Policy-MPP) is more than just a degree. It represents both a calling and a set of core abilities in demand in all parts of the world. We graduate 10,000 MPA/MPP’s every year. 
NASPAA’s commitment to excellence extends to 250 member schools, dozens of undergraduate members, 80 doctoral programs and many international schools.
