The Executive MPA is a low-residency program for working professionals with at least five years of experience. Our program is designed to enhance your leadership in the public sphere and combines an innovative online learning platform with monthly on-site intensives on Fridays and Saturdays from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Students complete the program on a part-time schedule and take ten courses, including a capstone project and three electives (at Fels or another Penn school).
"The Fels experience is shaped by our dynamic students and enriched by faculty and staff committed to your academic and professional success. Our programs equip future public leaders with the managerial and analytical toolkit needed to think critically and solve complex societal issues. Immersed in Philadelphia, an inspiring civic laboratory, students can make an impact locally or use the skills they learn in the classroom to effect change in communities across the globe. Fels graduates are a connected community and stand out wherever they go for their ability to innovate and generate solutions."
John Lapinski and Lauren Russell, Faculty Co-Directors
