The bachelor's degree programs in biology provide a sound liberal arts education with substantial experience in quantitative and analytical thought, along with preparation for a related profession. In addition to ensuring the strong background necessary for graduate study in the many fields of biological science, the broad range of courses available at Mason allow students to develop careers in many areas, including secondary school teaching, environmental management, microbiology, molecular biology, biotechnology, genetics, and natural history. The Master of Public Administration (MPA) is designed for people who hold or aspire to hold leadership positions in organizations that participate in the development and implementation of public policy. The mission of the MPA program is to give graduate students the opportunity to build their knowledge of politics, public policy and management and to enhance their analytic, problem solving, and communication skills. Highly qualified undergraduates in any major may apply to the accelerated masterâ€™s degree in public administration. If accepted, students will be able to earn a bachelorâ€™s degree in their chosen major and a masterâ€™s degree in public administration with a reduced number of overall credits and within a reduced time frame, sometimes within five years.
