Program Requirements
Students pursuing an MA in Public Management may obtain an additional credential by completing a sequence of courses offered by the Certificate in Nonprofit Management. This combined credential recognizes the interdependence of the governmental and nonprofit sectors and their common ground in mission-driven performance. Students who complete it will be prepared to move among the public, private, and nonprofit sectors or work for agencies that span them. This combined credential will require students to complete 16 courses (in lieu of 18 to complete both degrees separately). In addition to five electives from the public management curriculum, students are required to take the following courses:
