Maestría en Administración Pública

The Master of Public Administration (MPA) program is for students interested in public service leadership positions and careers with public and nonprofit agencies and organizations. The program serves students new to public service and those already in the field who are interested in furthering their careers.

The Master of Public Administration Program at the School of Public Affairs advances public service in Colorado and beyond through quality education, collaborative research, and strong relationships with the professional community. To advance our "Lead. Solve. Change." philosophy, we:

• Provide students with the knowledge, skills, experiences, and ethical standards to be innovative leaders in public and nonprofit organizations;
• Support faculty and students in conducting rigorous empirical research and disseminating findings to advance the study and practice of public and nonprofit management and policy; and
• Work with practitioners to enhance the public sector's ability to make evidence-based management decisions and policy improvements.

Public affairs topics are at the center of almost every national debate. From education policy to affordable housing, criminal justice reform to energy independence, these issues affect our neighborhoods, cities, and society. To move forward and find solutions, the country needs leaders and collaborators with in-depth knowledge and a long-term vision.
