Description
The NSU master in public administration degree, offered through the H. Wayne Huizenga School of Business and Entrepreneurship, with more than 25 years of experience in public administration is uniquely poised to meet the needs of an expanding population and government thorough training and community development.

Our curriculum has been redesigned to meet public-sector, government, and nonprofit needs in the new millennium based on emerging theory, surveys of prospective students among public-sector employees, and focus groups of practicing professional administrators. The result is the most current, relevant, and practically focused curriculum anywhere. And with multiple program formats to meet the demands of any schedule, the M.P.A. is a natural choice for public service personnel.

The Dual Admission Program in public administration is open to both freshmen and transfer students.
