Master of Public Administration
School: Delaware State University - DSU
What makes Delaware State University’s MPA unique is our focus on civic engagement and community empowerment. While our students develop the skills requisite for a Master of Public Administration, they will also develop their capacities for working alongside communities to empower individuals and communities as agents for their own development. The MPA at Delaware State University allows students to advance their own careers while also advancing community interests. To this end, students will learn and practice the skills necessary to assess community contexts, engage with community members, identify and build leadership capacities among others, and serve as agents of community change.
We do this through classroom instruction, community-based projects, and collaborative engagement with nonprofit and governmental organizations. Students have the opportunity to learn from academic faculty, experienced practitioners, each other, and the communities with which they will engage.
