Application information

Entry requirements

All applicants must hold a baccalaureate degree from an accredited college or university and have an upper division GPA of at least 3.0. Applicants with GPA lower than 3.0 may be considered if they submit a GRE, LSAT, or GMAT score. Students must be admitted to the certificate program to start taking classes. Admission to a certificate program does not guarantee admission to the Master of Public Administration (MPA) program. To apply, students should complete a preassessment advising meeting to identify and define aligned professional development, training, and community engagement goals. Note: Those students who apply for and are admitted to the MPA degree program may have certificate courses credited toward the MPA core. All the credits earned in a graduate certificate program may be used in a master's degree program provided the student is admitted to the master's degree program prior

Tuition is charged per credit, so the total depends on the modules you register for each year. Current fees are listed in the official fee schedule.

Graduate entry terms: Fall (starts in August), Spring (starts in January) and Summer (starts in May); some programmes limit admission to one or two terms a year.
