International Public Service and Development Concentration (IPSD)

The International Public Service and Development (IPSD) concentration is one of three Master’s in Public Administration degree tracks offered by Rutgers University–Camden.  The IPSD concentration combines graduate-level studies in Public Policy & Administration with coursework on community service, international development policy and administration, and nonprofit management.  

During their first year of academic studies, our students serve in a year-long internship in north Camden. After their first year, they then serve in the US Peace Corps for 2 years, or for 1 year in an alternative international assignment from Central and South America to Africa and the Far East. 

Upon completing the degree, our program has an excellent track record of placing students in government organizations, international institutions, and private firms.  Recent graduates have gone to work for organizations like the U.S. State Department, the CDC, USAID (U.S. Department for Aid and International Development), and a host of state and municipal government departments. 

Please contact the Faculty Coordinator for the MPA–International Public Service & Development concentration for more information on the program.
