The Executive Master of Public Administration (MPA) is offered a growing number of public policy schools across the country. The Executive MPA is designed around the professional experience and aspirations of mid career professionals, most of whom typically have an undergraduate degree, five to ten years of cumulative experience with public or non-profit organizations and demonstrably progressive responsibility through at least three years of managerial experience. Like other mid-career degrees, Executive MPAs grant credit for professional experience and are pursued through part time study by individuals seeking advancement in public sector organizations by developing advanced knowledge and skills in leadership, administration, and analysis. Unlike conventional programs focused on pre-service students, Executive MPA programs often encourage students to integrate their professional responsibility with course requirements to work through policy, regulatory and management challenges facing their agency.
