Bachelor / Master of Public Administration

The combined BPPSMPA degree pathway offered by the Department of Public Policy and Administration allows qualified students to earn both degrees in a shorter amount of time than typically required for earning degrees sequentially. A student admitted to the combined degree pathway will be considered to have undergraduate status until the student applies for graduation from their bachelor’s degree program. Upon conferral of the bachelor’s degree, the student will be granted graduate status and be eligible for graduate assistantships.
