Full time Part time BA to MA Duration: 2 years
Under the Master of Public Administration (MPA) program, students develop the strong managerial, communication, and analytical skills that public and not-for-profit organizations are seeking. At UMass Lowell, a highly ranked research university, close partnerships with such organizations provide learning experiences that emphasize an ethic of public service, while faculty from several disciplines bring their expertise, and various perspectives, to the program.
Students may attend full- or part-time, and the program offers both on-campus and online courses.
UMass Lowell’s MPA program can help students transition to nonprofit management ranks from the for-profit sector, advance within a nonprofit or public agency or Non-Governmental Organization, or start a new job with the credentials - and depth of knowledge - necessary to advance.
MPA offers students the opportunity to choose an area of concentration, based on their academic interests, and their career objectives. Click on links below for more information and degree pathways for each individual program option, or email: MPA@uml.edu to discuss which option is best for you!
