For Executive MPA Directors 

Welcome to the NASPAA Executive MPA Center.  The purpose of the Executive MPA Center is to support and promote quality Executive MPA programs.  NASPAA is pleased to announce several initiatives to serve our members in addressing the unique opportunities of Executive MPA programs, including:

Survey of NASPAA Executive Education Programs 
In July 2006 NASPAA conducted the first comprehensive survey of Executive Education programs for experienced public service professionals. The survey results highlight a growing and diverse field of Executive Education programs. For more information on the survey results, please visit:

Promoting the Executive MPA
To serve the growing need of public sector professionals to access information about educational opportunities, NASPAA is spreading the word about the Executive MPA through advertisements and articles placed in media outlets targeted towards public sector professionals. NASPAA launched an on-line directory of Executive MPA programs and other non-degree Executive Education opportunities. 

Defining New Opportunities for Executive MPA Programs
NASPAA named an Executive MPA Committee to provide policy guidance on promoting and supporting quality Executive Education programs.  The Committee is actively pursing additional opportunities to increase the visibility and articulate the value of Executive MPA programs.

If you run an Executive MPA program, we would love to hear from you. Please contact Maja Holmes at execmpa@naspaa.org or (202) 628-8965 ext. 109 to share your ideas or learn more about the Executive MPA Center.
