Virtual Open Houses for MSW and MPA Programs

You’ll build a comprehensive understanding of human development and behavior across the lifespan while developing direct practice skills with individuals, families, groups, organizations, and communities. Students can specialize in Advanced Clinical Practice or Organizational Leadership and Change, with the option to concentrate in military social work.
  • Master of Public Administration (MPA) - Designed for working adults and military-connected students ready to advance their careers, this online program equips you to make an impact in government, nonprofit, and public service organizations. With a focus on ethics, management, and data-informed decision-making, the MPA prepares graduates for leadership in fields such as city management, emergency and disaster response, homeland security, and nonprofit leadership.
