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.
Classes are scheduled to better accommodate the working professionals in the program. Faculty include traditional academics, “pracademics” (academics with career experience in government or non-profit organizations), and working professionals to offer practical experience.
This fully online program consists of 36 credit hours offered through Augusta University Online. Be advised that students pursuing the Criminal Justice concentration cannot earn the Post-Baccalaureate Certificate in Nonprofit Leadership alongside their MPA without additional courses.
