Overview

Key Features

We designed our Master of Public Administration graduate program for busy adults—in fact, you can get your MPA in as little as two years while attending classes in the evening and on weekends.

As a nationally ranked master’s college, we’ll provide you with a thorough and rigorous foundation in the core aspects of public administration. You’ll also be able to specialize in one of three concentrations that match your goals and career:

Tribal Governance: management, policy, and leadership for indigenous organizations, governments, and those who work with them
Public & Nonprofit Administration: management, finance, and leadership
Public Policy: understanding, communicating, and shaping policy
Join our learning communities (cohorts) - Olympia, Tacoma, and Tribal Governance - as we work together for positive change.

The Public Administration program from Evergreen State College features many of the aspects that makes an Evergreen education unique and successful: collaborative and interdisciplinary programs, narrative evaluations, and a focus on experiential learning. You can enroll full-time and complete the program in two years, or choose to attend part-time and get your MPA in as little as three years. All classes meet in the evening or on the weekends to meet the needs of adult students.
