University of Texas At Arlington

The mission of the Master of Public Administration program is to strengthen public decision making and the delivery of public services in a globalized and diverse society by educating students to lead and manage organizations at all levels of government and nonprofit institutions ethically, democratically, and effectively.

ABOUT THE PROGRAM

This program is the largest enrolled accredited program in Texas and #No.15 in the U.S. with good reason. All three MPA programs for a master's are campus, online, and a city cohort. Our MPA programs are fully accredited by NASPAA, the international accreditation body for the MPA. Set in the dynamic Dallas-Fort Worth region, the on-campus and accelerated online programs offer tremendous opportunities for practice and learning. The unique intermix of city planning, public policy, and architecture in the program’s home college creates significant unique opportunities for students.
