Master of Public Policy and Administration
The Master of Public Policy and Administration (M.P.P.A.[1]), alternatively Master of Public Administration and Policy (M.P.A.P.), is one of several professional graduate degrees. It is a two-year multidisciplinary master's program that encompasses course material from a wide range of programs, including the Master of Public Administration (M.P.A.), Master of Public Policy (M.P.P.), Master of Government Policy, Master of Public Affairs, and others.[2][3]
The M.P.P.A. degree is one of five graduate programs combining policy and administration in their titles, meaning they are serving both programs within one degree. One example of a university offering the degree is the University of Tennessee at Knoxville, which requires a core curriculum that encompasses a mix of general administration, financial administration, quantitative methods, administrative ethics, and economics. At the University of Tennessee and certain others, students pick a concentration within either administration or public policy.[4]
At Carleton University in Ottawa, Canada, its M.P.P.A. program has been offered since the early 1950s and has become one of the most renowned of its kind in Canada.[5]
