Ohio University’s Voinovich School of Leadership and Public Affairs’ Executive Master of Public Administration (MPA) program is one of the best values of all the executive MPA programs in the country, according to Value Colleges Top 25 BestValue Executive MPA for 2019.

Built for maximum flexibility, Voinovich School’s Executive MPA program offers working professionals the ability to juggle busy careers and home lives while achieving their professional goals.
