Overview

In the Public Administration program from Missouri State Universiry, you’ll learn how to practically apply Missouri State’s public affairs mission to your role as an ethical, culturally competent and engaged public sector leader.

Earn your degree in two parts: a set of core curriculum, plus a certificate of your choice to specialize your education for the career you want.

Specialized certificates let you customize your degree

Choose from four public administration certificates. With just 12-18 hours of course work, you can achieve one of these certificates. If you pair two of them together, you may already meet the requirements for a Master of Public Administration.

Explore certificates:

Local government management
Public policy
Public safety
Economic development

Or, you can choose a certificate outside of the department. For example, public health.

An internship is required for this degree. However, if you have significant experience working in government, your internship requirement may be waived. Contact an advisor for more details.

The certificates are also available as free-standing offers for those not wanting a degree.
