B.A./M.P.A. Dual-Degree Program - (See Dual-Degree Programs under Registration and Course Information in the Academic Policies and Procedures section.) The B.A./M.P.A. Dual-Degree Program allows students in the economics and political science departments to take up to three graduate M.P.A. courses while completing their B.A. degrees.
The four-year law and M.P.A. program, administered jointly with Rutgers School of Law-Camden, leads to J.D. and M.P.A. degrees. Students interested in this course of study must be accepted independently by both the School of Law-Camden and the Graduate School-Camden's Department of Public Policy and Administration. For further information, please contact Chair, Graduate Department of Public Policy and Administration, 401 Cooper Street, Camden, NJ 08102.
M.A./M.P.A. Dual-Degree Program - The graduate programs in criminal justice and in public policy and administration offer a dual M.A./M.P.A. degree. Students who complete the 30-credit curriculum in criminal justice may go on to earn an M.P.A. by taking 18 additional credits in public policy and administration. Special admission procedures may apply, so students interested in the dual-degree program must consult with advisers in both programs prior to admission.
