Program Summary

The Duke MPA combines the rigorous analytical tools of a public policy degree with the management and leadership skills taught in many public administration programs. While many of our students work (or plan to work) in the public sector, the MPA is also designed for students in the non-profit and philanthropic sectors and in a range of private-sector professions such as consulting, government relations, and social entrepreneurship.

The Duke MPA combines in-person residencies with state-of-the-art online instruction, providing opportunities for networking and cohort development along with the flexibility of remote learning that can be done any time of the day convenient to the student.
