Our site provides prospective students interested in the field with a comprehensive database of online Master of Public Administration (MPA) programs offered by accredited, non-profit institutions in the United States.

Our mission is to provide prospective MPA students with valuable content about online MPA programs and careers in public administration. To that end, in addition to a comprehensive database of programs, OnlineMPAPrograms.com features extensive information on MPA specializations, admission requirements, tuition rates, coursework options, curricula of MPA programs, online instruction methods, and more to assist students in making informed decisions about their professional and academic paths. Additionally, we regularly feature articles on the latest trends and topics within public administration, publish thorough guides on careers in the different subfields of public administration, interview top educators in the field, and answer students’ academic and professional questions in our FAQ section.

To ensure quality, timeliness, and accuracy, we produce all content in-house, conducting thorough independent research and consulting with experts across the country. We continually update our program database and resources on the site as new school information is released. If you find something that is incorrect or outdated on our site or feel that we are missing important content regarding MPA-related careers or MPA programs, please use our contact us form, and we will do our best to add your suggested content as we continue to develop and improve the site.
