Part-time MPA students complete the Evans School’s nationally ranked MPA degree program at a slower pace. Students experience the same rigorous curriculum as full-time MPA students, with late afternoon or evening sections for core courses and select electives that make it easier to work full or part-time.
International students on F-1 and J-1 visas must enroll full-time in the MPA program.
