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 Public Safety The Public Safety concentration is designed to give students a focused background in local and state Public Safety, from the perspectives of Emergency Management, Criminal Justice, Fire Science, or National Security.
