Eight core courses:

• One applied research tools course (e.g., Program and Policy Evaluation)

Nonprofit Management Concentration

The concentration is designed to give students an overview of the nonprofit field and to develop specific skills and program knowledge to meet a variety of interests and career goals. A major advantage of the concentration is that students will be well-grounded in public management and policy for the many positions in the nonprofit sector that depend on government funding, support, and collaboration. Students will also have the flexibility to select additional courses from among MPA and other graduate program offerings.

Local Government Management Concentration

This concentration combines the MPA core requirements with courses emphasizing the knowledge and skills to prepare students to work as local government managers. The prerequisite, comprehensive exam, and experiential component are the same as for the MPA.
