Program Description
The Master of Public Administration is accredited by the National Association of Schools of Public Affairs Administration (NASPAA) and is committed to preparing graduates for managerial roles in government, health care and nonprofit sectors. We are dedicated to the provision of a curriculum that includes generalist skills, provides competence in current managerial technologies, supports ethical practice, and exhibits commitment to diversity in its curriculum, faculty, and student body. The primary focus of the program is on in-service students seeking to undertake graduate study on a part-time basis in order to upgrade and improve their managerial and professional skills. These students come from municipal, county, state, and non-profit agencies in the region served by Kean University. Each year a small number of students are admitted without extensive government experience.
