What is the difference between the MPA and PMPA programs? To which should I apply?
The MPA program is a one-year, full-time Master of Public Administration program. The majority of MPA candidates are recent university graduates who are looking to develop their skills and knowledge in governance and policy analysis for future roles in the public service or the non-profit sector. Mid-career candidates join the program to change or upgrade their skills and knowledge in public policy. The PMPA program is for a two-year, part-time program for individuals who have a minimum of five years employment experience in the public sector or related activities. It allows candidates to continue in full-time employment, while pursuing graduate studies in public policy and administration.
