 MastersinPublicAdministration.com
Description: The Purpose of MastersinPublicAdministration.com

Masters In Public Administration is the result of there being no place to get reliable information about MPA schools and programs in 2010. I decided to start a site that gave a straightforward picture as to what obtaining your MPA is actually like, what the career prospects are, what the differences between programs are, and most importantly what programs actually exist.

Who are Chase & Joseph?

Masters In Public Administration is the brainchild of Joseph Morris and Chase Gugenheim.

Chase and I know that there are no such lists only because we looked for such a list when we were applying for schools there is no complete and d list of all the masters in public administration programs anywhere on the web. That has made the process of considering your options for an MPA school very difficult up until this website.

Keep the Emails Coming

I’ve spent a good amount of time dealing with accrediting bodies in order to compile this list of schools, unfortunately it still isn’t perfect. I frequently receive emails from administrators from various schools asking to have their school added, and I thank you all for your emails. So whether you’re a prospective MPA student with a question about the degree that you’d like to see answered on the site, or an administrator who would like to add or correct their schools listing on our homepage, please email me, Joseph, at JosephMorris90@gmail.com or Chase via email at Chase@mastersinpublicadministration.com
