Huizenga College of Business Master of Public Administration M.P.A.

Inspired to Lead and Serve

You’re inspired to serve – but to make a bigger difference, you need to be a higher link on the chain of command. Master the skillset every innovative, forward-thinking leader needs to reach that next rung.

The three concentrations within the Master of Public Administration program develops your skills to lead public and community agencies, as well as to understand the social, economic, and political context in which public decisions are made. All four concentrations build your analytical skills and public service values like accountability, integrity, diversity and ethical decision-making.

Choose From Three Concentrations

M.P.A. Concentration In Criminal Justice

Tens of thousands of criminal justice agencies in the U.S. provide law enforcement, corrections, judicial, and support services. Many seek forward-thinking leaders who can operate innovatively; inspire teams and improve agency results. Be that inspiring leader they seek.

M.P.A. Concentration In State And Local Administration

The real opportunities to change lives for the better, help families, and strengthen communities is found quite often at state and local levels, as opposed to massive federal agencies. There are 90,000 state and local government entities. Their mission and goals differ, but they all have one thing in common: they need leaders who can raise the bar for all, developing new ideas, programs and methods to drive results.

M.P.A. Concentration In Non-Profit/Non-Governmental Organizations

There are more than 1.5 million nonprofits in the U.S., each challenged to increase collaborative public service and drive improved results. Their missions are all inspiring, but inspiration alone won’t cut it. They need an edge – they need a Shark like you on their side to guide the journey.
