Programs of Study

  The Department of Public Administration offers a graduate program 
leading to a Master of Public Administration. The curriculum in the MPA 
program emphasizes a combination of courses and practical experience 
leading to entry-level management positions for students beginning their 
professional careers and job advancement for students already in 
government service. All faculty members have experience in government 
and maintain contact with managers and professional associations, such 
as the International City/County Management Association. The MPA at the 
University of North Texas is accredited by the National Association of 
Schools of Public Affairs and Administration. The curriculum conforms to 
NASPAA standards. Detailed information on the MPA program may be found 
in the Graduate Catalog.

  Undergraduate students who wish to select public administration as an 
area of concentration should major either in political science and 
choose public administration as one of their fields of study, or in the 
bachelor of applied arts and sciences and choose public administration 
as one of the professional development areas. Consult the appropriate 
sections in this catalog for specific details.
