Leading the Way in Public Administration

The University of New Haven profoundly understands how to support and grow the future leaders of governments and nonprofits. Our online Master of Public Administration (MPA) degree can position you for success while allowing you to continue to work. The master’s degree also allows you to choose a concentration or customize one to your needs. 

• 100% online. Classes are entirely on your schedule. 
• One course per term. Most courses are offered in our standard 6 to 7.5-week term format so that you can take one course per mini-term for maximum work-life balance; however, some courses are only available in the 15-week, or full-term, format.

Our program is 36 credit hours. Many students are eligible for three credits of waivers toward completion due to work in public administration settings—those who are not will complete a 3-credit focused practicum, PADM 6600. 

Choose from concentrations in:

• Public Safety
• Fire and Emergency Medical Services
• General Concentration
• Municipal Management
• Nonprofit Management
• Public Financial Management
