Master of Public Administration - General

At the School of Public and Global Affairs, public service is a calling, public administration is a necessity, and public-minded citizens are essential to a healthy society. As a member of the National Association of Schools of Public Affairs and Administration (NASPAA), FDU seeks to provide well-educated leaders for public and nonprofit agencies and to improve the knowledge and credentials of administrators already employed in these organizations.

The program is enriched with a project-based curriculum. The project-based MPA emphasizes group work, problem-solving, and building a portfolio of accomplishment. It integrates accomplished practitioners with accomplished academics to give students the best of both worlds. Many of these courses take place on weekends where students and their cohort are asked to work together to offer policy recommendations, map solutions, and collaborate on research.
