Traditional On-Campus Program
The traditional on-campus program is designed to provide students with a sound combination of theoretical knowledge and applied learning to build competency in administrative management and policy analysis. A signature part of the on-campus program is a year-long practicum experience where pre-service students are provided with unique opportunities to engage in project-based work alongside professional staff at the School. Projects vary in size and scope and students often work directly with area nonprofit organizations and local government.
Executive MPA Program
The Executive MPA program (OEMPA) provides mid-career students with disciplinary knowledge of public policy and administration, public service and leadership, and data management and applications. Our emphasis on combining theory and practice helps students to think critically and creatively, while engaging in problem solving activities that address both real and theoretical situations. The OEMPA program is a unique combination of residency-based classroom learning and on-line interaction. Regular face-to-face class meetings are held at monthly weekend residencies on the Athens campus, with the remainder of the coursework completed on-line. Guest speakers from the public sector are often invited to join classroom discussion or for lunch/dinner over the course of the program.
