Students who successfully complete this full-time, 84-credit program can earn both the MBA and MPP degrees in three years. The growing financial constraints on the public sector call for more leaders with vision to make the public sector more responsive to the citizenry and flexible in their approaches to delivery of services. At the same time, both the private and non-profit sectors are increasingly called upon to provide services that were formerly furnished by the public sector. Individuals who possess the finance, marketing, and organizational skills of a business program coupled with the analytic tools and political acumen provided by a public policy program will be highly sought after in today's job market.

 

Students interested in applying to the MPP/MBA Program should complete and submit both the MPP and the MBA applications to the respective schools simultaneously. More information about the MBA program is available on the McDonough School of Business website.
