Students can enroll in Spring or Fall. This sample illustrates a two-year program and is the most common approach to completing the MPA. However, it is just one of the many ways students may organize their academic schedule. Some students complete the MPA in 16 months, and it could be completed in as many as five years by taking one course per semester. Course sequence reflects Fall start.
