Executive MPA Curriculum
Unlike other Master of Public Administration programs, we offer a curriculum built for the real challenges faced by public administrators. You won’t find us teaching a lot of theory. Instead, we focus on building your technical skills in areas like data analysis and program evaluation, while providing customized assessments to turn you into a strategic leader. It’s a new world for public and nonprofit organizations. The Voinovich School Executive MPA program provides graduates with a new framework and strategy to succeed.
Culminating Experience
The culminating experience is a portfolio capturing the student's learning experiences in the program through the submission of select research and professional papers. The portfolio is presented in person or via written submission to a faculty committee.
