Dual Degree MPA/MBA
Students may also enroll in a two-degree option: MPA-MBA program. The objective of this program is to permit students with broad interest in both the public and private sectors to double register in both the MPA and MBA programs. With the increasing interdependence of the public and private sectors, this option is attractive to those students wishing to pursue careers in positions responsible for working with their counterparts in private or public organizations. In order to be admitted into the two-degree option, the applicant must specify the option at the time of application to the Graduate School. Students who wish to enter either the MPA or MPA-MBA programs should consult with the Graduate Advisor for the Woody L. Hunt College of Business and with the Coordinator of the MPA program with regard to admission, required courses, approved electives, and petition for candidacy. The program consists of 69 semester credit hours (SCH) of graduate study, of which 39 SCH are in areas of Business Administration and 30 SCH are in areas of Public Administration.
