If you plan to work in government or have a government-adjacent role, contracting with the public sector or advocating for public policy reform, this program will bring much clarity and understanding to your work.

The online program at 蜜柚视频 is a step above.

The MPA program was the perfect complement to my work. At the time, I was positive my role would not intersect with finance, and my career goals could not have been further from a CFO role. As my career has transformed, I work with budgets on a daily basis as a department director. From writing state and federal grants to ensuring my organization鈥檚 grantees are on track to meet their goals, public budgeting is an integral competency."
