Combine your interest in public administration with another graduate degree at Penn
All degree students at Fels can take advantage of classes and community at Penn’s 12 world-class graduate schools through their elective classes and involvement in campus activities. Students seeking to build deeper knowledge in a specific content area may wish to consider a dual degree. Students must apply and be admitted to each degree program separately and are responsible for completing the full degree requirements. Each dual degree has a course plan which allows “double-counting” of specific courses. This reduces the number of courses and time required to earn both degrees.
Dual degrees are currently available for the following programs:
- JD/MPA: Juris Doctorate through Penn Carey Law and Fels MPA*
- ML/MPA: Master of Law through Penn Carey Law and Fels MPA
- MPH/MPA: Master of Public Health through Perelman School of Medicine and Fels MPA
- MSEd ECS/MPA: Master of Science in Education: Education, Culture and Society through Graduate School of Education and Fels MPA*
- MSSP/MPA: Master of Science in Social Policy through School of Social Policy and Practice and Fels MPA*
- MCP/MPA: Master of City Planning through Weitzman School of Design and Fels MPA*
- MSEd Ed Policy/MPA: Master of Science in Education: Education Policy through Graduate School of Education and Fels MPA
- MES/MPA: Master of Environmental Studies and Fels MPA*
*Only available for students enrolled in the Full-time MPA program
We recommend students interested in a dual degree apply to both programs concurrently to support academic planning. Please indicate your intention to apply for a dual degree in your application to Fels. We recommend discussing your interests with advisors from both programs before applying.
