The framework of the MPA program is flexible and efficient. Classes are offered during the day, evening, some weekends, and over the summer. It’s adaptable to family, work, and other responsibilities. The majority of MPA students take one or two classes at a time while continuing to work full-time. Because of this schedule, 90 percent of MPA students complete the master's degree in less than three years. You can complete the program in one calendar year (fall, spring, summer, in that order) by attending full-time.

We offer:

  • An exciting, dynamic core curriculum
  • The opportunity to pursue your passion by designing your own program from 150+ departments at the University of Minnesota
  • A learning community of peers who understand what it is to balance school with career, family, and other obligations
  • A network of alumni who will provide lifelong support and networking opportunities
