One-Year MPA Curriculum

Unlike other Master of Public Administration programs, we offer a curriculum built for the real challenges faced by public administrators, in just one year. Not only will you learn about public administration concepts, but you’ll also apply them immediately by building your technical skills in areas like data analysis and program evaluation. A signature part of the on-campus program is the applied learning experience where students work with nonprofit organizations; local, state and federal government; or other public agencies in Ohio, other states, or Washington, D.C. 

Culminating Experience

The culminating experience is a portfolio capturing the student's learning experiences in the program through the submission of select research and professional papers. The portfolio is presented electronically at the conclusion of the program in your final summer.

Courses

Please note, this degree only accepts new students in the summer term of each year.

Summer Session II

Students will take the first class of the program online, and other two in a bootcamp format during the first two weeks of August, enabling you to delay arrival on campus until just before fall semester begins.
