Master of Public Administration (MPA)

The Master of Public Administration (MPA) Program pairs Ohio University’s political science department with the Voinovich School to provide public sector learning opportunities for MPA students, while lending students’ expertise to the public sector. The program is designed to help MPA students develop sound management skills by linking each quarter’s academic learning with public service experience.

Students seeking an MPA engage in a year-long learning experience that weaves together academic curriculum and real-world public sector service work through the School. The program commences fall quarter with four quarters of study and 10 practicum (service) hours to be completed by MPA candidates. The synthesis of academic knowledge and practice will serve to enhance the learning experience of MPA candidates and better prepare them for employment upon graduation.
