Overview
The focus of the program is on student practitioners with a minimum of ten years professional administrative and managerial experience. This curriculum is offered to students organized as a cohort.
A cohort begins only when there are sufficient students in the cohort to justify the use of resources for the degree (typically 20 students). Once the cohort is formed the courses are offered in a specific sequence and in a format which is designed to reflect the ongoing work demands of the students in the cohort.
The classes are not offered in the same format as traditional courses, but, rather, rely upon weekend, web-based, and web-enhanced courses. The cohort moves through the sequence as a group.
Programme Structure
- The program requires students to take 10 core courses (30 credit hours), five electives (15 credit hours), and an internship (3 credit hours). Specializations are offered in emergency management, nonprofit management, evaluation, and urban management.
