The master of public affairs and politics (M.P.A.P.) is a 30-credit
program designed for students who have significant work experience in
public affairs and politics or a previous or concurrent graduate
degree. Students are expected to complete a required core of 12 credits
in policy, research methods, economics, and analysis. Students complete
the remaining 18 credits with electives. Students may pursue the
M.P.A.P. program on either a full- or part-time basis. With permission
from the program director, individuals may enroll in up to 12 credits
of course work as nondegree students before formally applying to the
program. With permission, these credits may count toward the 30-credit
total for the degree.
