Master of Public Administration (MPA)

North Georgia College & State University offers a Master of Public Administration (M.P.A.) Program in order to serve qualified, professionally oriented college graduates who aspire employment in the public sector, in a nonprofit organization, or in a corporate setting having extensive interaction with governmental agencies. The M.P.A. Program is designed to serve students who are currently employed in a public service organization or contemplate a new career in public and human service.

Applications from prospective graduate students are welcome year round, and an irregular admission status (beginning classes w/o an entrance test score either GRE or GMAT) is permissible for this program. 

A student accepted into the program may begin to pursue graduate study in any academic term, provided that work begins within 12 months of the student's offer of admission to the M.P.A. program. After 12 months, the student would have to reapply to Graduate Admissions.
