The Master of Public Administration Program is a policy and management program that prepares students for public service careers in government agencies, especially in the uniformed and protective services, justice organizations, international and military organizations, and inspection and oversight agencies.

The curriculum offers students the opportunity to acquire professional and political knowledge and skills, together with consideration of ethical issues, necessary for effective public service. Concentrations are offered in the following fields: Management and Operations, Human Resources Management, Criminal Justice Policy and Administration, Court Administration, Emergency Management, Urban Affairs, and Law and Public Management.

The traditional Master of Public Administration Program prepares students for public service as managers, analysts, and policy specialists. A related Master of Public Administration-Inspector General Program prepares students to apply the core disciplines of public administration from an oversight perspective.

In the Inspector General Program, concentrations are offered in the following fields: Investigation and Operational Inspection, Fiscal Policy Analysis and Oversight, Organizational Performance Assessment, and Regulatory and Political Oversight. Graduates are prepared for careers assessing performance of public agencies and as managers in public and not-for-profit organizations with auditing, oversight, and investigative responsibilities.
