Program Overview
The Master of Public Administration (MPA) at Augusta University is the preferred degree for professionals working in government and the nonprofit sector.
Accredited by the Network of Public Policy, Affairs, and Administration (NASPAA), the MPA degree is a versatile degree that allows students to advance their careers in numerous fields in the public sector, such as managing cybersecurity, economic development, criminal justice, city-county management, emergency management, and many others.
Our classes are scheduled to better accommodate the working professionals in our program and our faculty includes traditional academics, “pracademics” (academics with career experience in government or nonprofit organizations), and working professionals to offer you practical experience.
The fully online 36 credit hour program is offered through Augusta University Online. Along with earning their traditional MPA, students can pursue a Post-Baccalaureate Certificate in Nonprofit Leadership . Students wishing to expand their knowledge of criminal justice may pursue a concentration in criminal justice as part of their MPA degree program: Master of Public Administration with a Concentration in Criminal Justice .
