MPA Career-Enhancement Option

What do a minister, a police officer, and a social service administrator all have in common? All are graduates of the University of Delaware’s part-time Master of Public Administration (MPA) program, now called the “Career Enhancement Option.”

Designed so that busy professionals can earn their MPA in just three and a half years, the University of Delaware’s fully accredited MPA program is recruiting part-time students for the fall 2005 semester. Formerly the Mid-Career Option, the restructured program will admit a cohort of students every fall, as opposed to every other year, and will admit students with any number of years of experience. The MPA is the standard professional degree for anyone desiring to advance their career in government or nonprofit management—much as the MBA is aimed at those pursuing careers in the private sector.

Join a cohort of your peers in enhancing your government and nonprofit career today!
