The on-campus Master of Public Administration is designed to deliver the analytical tools, real-world experience, and valuable connections needed to begin or advance a career in the public sector. The MPA can be completed in one year and requires nine courses, including a capstone project, two electives (at Fels or another Penn school), and an internship.
"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
