The Master of Public Administration is the most widely accepted and valued professional degree in the field of Public Service. At UNH, our MPA provides students with the core skills and knowledge necessary to be a successful professional in Public Service, as well as offering students an opportunity to complete a concentration in one of four timely areas: 1) Municipal Management, 2) Public Finance and Fiscal Analytics, 3) Public Safety, and 4) Nonprofit Management. Our MPA accommodates the needs of students new to the field as well as those already working in public service. In both cases, we seek students who are motivated to increase their knowledge and gain the skills necessary to take on challenging assignments in public service, particularly at the state and local level. Required Courses The degree is comprised of 36 credits. Many students are eligible for 3 credits of waivers toward completion as a result of work in public administration settings, but those who are not will complete a 3-credit focused practicum, PADM 6600. All students complete a basic core of courses including: PADM 6601 - Principles of Public Administration PADM 6602 - Public Policy Formulation and Implementation PADM 6611 - Research Methods in Public Administration PADM 6620 - Personnel Administration and Collective Bargaining in the Public Sector PADM 6625 - Administrative Behavior PADM 6632 - Public Finance and Budgeting PADM 6635 - Political Economy PADM 6690 - Research Seminar Electives or Concentration (three courses) Most students will then elect one of the above concentrations, each of which requires students to complete a combination of courses totaling 9 credits. Students can elect to complete the degree without a concentration area, in which case they may choose, in consultation with their advisor, three additional elective courses comprising 9 credits. Concentration in Nonprofit Organizational Management The Nonprofit Organizational Management concentration provides students with vital knowledge and skills in Nonprofit Management, from traditional aspects such as fund raising and community service, to the latest trends such as social entrepreneurship. Students in this concentration must choose three courses from the following: PADM 6663 - Nonprofit Management PADM 6665 - Communications and Public Relations for Public and Nonprofit Organizations PADM 6666 - Strategic Planning for Public and Nonprofit Organizations PADM 6667 - Human Resource Management in the Nonprofit and Volunteer Setting PADM 6668 - Fund Development for Nonprofit Organizations Advisor Approved Electives Courses
