Executive Master of Public Administration
The Executive Master of Public Administration is designed to advance the careers and develop the skills of senior public and non-profit sector managers. The focus of the program is on student practitioners with a minimum of ten years professional administrative and managerial experience. This curriculum is offered to students organized as a cohort. A cohort begins only when there are sufficient students in the cohort to justify the use of resources for the degree (typically 20 students). Once the cohort is formed the courses are offered in a specific sequence and in a format which is designed to reflect the ongoing work demands of the students in the cohort. The classes are not offered in the same format as traditional courses, but, rather, rely upon weekend, web-based, and web-enhanced courses. The cohort moves through the sequence as a group. A student may not take courses out of sequence nor drop in and out of the cohort. If a student drops out of a class he/she must wait until a new cohort reaches that same point in the sequence to re-enter the program.
