WELCOME TO THE DEPARTMENT
OF PUBLIC POLICY & ADMINISTRATION

Graduate students in the Department of Public Policy and Administration (DPPA) can choose to pursue their MPA in one of three distinct tracks: Public Management, International Public Service & Development (IPSD), or Education Policy & Leadership. The DPPA also offers a dual JD/MPA degree with the Law School at Rutgers-Camden; this course of study enables students accepted to both programs, to transfer credits from one degree toward the other, reducing the time required for completion. An accelerated BA/MPA option allows exceptional undergraduate majors in Political Science and Economics to fast-track into the MPA and complete both degrees in as little as five years.
