Master in Public Administration (MPA)

Description

ASE’s MPA curriculum is designed as an upgrade to the existing programs due to its rigorous training in Statistics and Economics as well its tight connection with government and international agencies. The structure of the ASE’s MPA program is similar to that of our MBA programs. It includes two tracks:

  • The full-time MPA (FMPA) that provides two-year intensive trainings in three sub-fields:
  • Public & Non-profit Organizations
  • International Relations & Development Studies
  • Urban planning, Local Governance & Management of Infrastructures.
  • The part-time MPA (PMPA) targeting qualified public officials and full time government employees and which will run over three years or more.
