DUAL DEGREE: 

MASTERS OF PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION & nONPROFIT MANAGEMENT

The dual MPA/MNM degree provides the opportunity for students to earn graduate degrees from two academic programs, the Master of Public Administration and the Master of Nonprofit Manqagement, concurrently.  Students successfully completing this Dual Degre track will have the skills and analytical techniques for successful careers in both the public and nonprofit sectors.

The MPA/MNM dual degree program curriculum consists of 66 credits.  Students complete a core of 16 courses (48 credit hours), and advanced curriculum of five electives (15 credit hours) that are selected in consultation with the advisor, and a capstone experience equivalent to one course (3 credit hours).  Prospective students must apply to the dual degree track for both the MPA and MNM programs and pay an application fee for each program.

Application to the MPA/MNM Dual Degree is a two-step process.  Potential students must apply to both the

2. Nonprofit Management MNM Dual Degree track. 

Students may initially apply to either the MPA or the MNM but, to continue in the MPA/MNM Dual Degree program, must apply and be accepted to the second program before completing 18 credit hours.  Students who do not apply and/or are not admitted to both programs will have their status changed to show admission to the MPA program only.

The same transcripts, resumes, statements, and recommendation letters may be used as supporting application documents for both programs.
