Public Management, Master of Public Management (M.P.M.)

Non-thesis only: 36 credits required

The Master of Public Management (MPM) policy track is a 36 credit degree program for professionals with at least 5 years of policy and management experience. The program is identical to the MPP program except that students take four fewer general electives and may substitute a policy or management elective for the project courses required in the MPP program.

Courses are offered throughout the day, but it is sometimes possible to complete the program by taking only courses beginning no earlier than 4:15pm. Students usually finish the program in three years by taking two courses each fall and spring semester, but can finish in as many as five years, or as few as one year by taking four courses in the fall and spring semesters, 1 during the winter semester, and 3 during the summer semester.
