SHARE WITH STUDENTS: MPA/MPP/MSCA Virtual Info Session 10/21
Are you considering graduate school? UIC’s Department of Public Administration invites you to join us virtually on October 21 at 5:00 pm for an Information Session to learn more about our Master's degrees in public administration, public policy and civic analytics! Meet our friendly faculty and staff.
The purpose of the Master of Public Policy program is to prepare students to analyze and evaluate information in order to address complex policy issues. Graduates from MPP programs are sought after analysts and leaders because of their ability to evaluate and synthesize large quantitative datasets using a variety of statistical tools coupled with an in-depth understanding of the institutional, social, economic and political context in which policy solutions are implemented.
The MPA is the premier degree for those that wish to manage government agencies and nonprofits, and for those in the private sector that wish to specialize in intergovernmental relations, philanthropy, and regulatory affairs. Our program offers a diverse array of concentrations and specializations and tracks, including public management, nonprofit management, urban governance, and public policy.
The Master of Science in Civic Analytics (MSCA) is a first of its kind degree that combines study in civic technology and data analytics for those in the government and nonprofit sectors. Graduates will have technical skills that will be highly desirable in many employer contexts, including information offices in city, state and federal agencies; nonprofits; consulting firms, and government contractors.
Both the MPA, MPP and MSCA programs accept students with a diverse set of undergraduate majors, and it can be completed in either full or part-time status.
