MPA Degree Requirements

Degree Requirements for the MPA, All Emphases

To receive the MPA, students must fulfill the following requirements within a seven-year period from the time of matriculation into the program. Extensions are rare, but may be requested under extenuating circumstances.

  1. Complete 42 graduate credits.
  2. Demonstrate proficiency in basic computer applications.
  3. Attain a minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.0 (a grade of “B” or better). Failure to maintain this cumulative average will result in dismissal from the program. More than three credits of course work below “B” will result in dismissal. Core courses may not be repeated, and an “E” in a core course will result in dismissal.

Note: Failure of any core course will result in dismissal from the program, as will a grade less than a “B” for more than (3) credits of any coursework. Therefore, the Department of Public Administration Program adheres to a policy that is more strict than the campus probation policy, also referenced in this catalog.  

  1. Complete PAD/EPS 696 Project Paper (an applied research paper) or Portfolio.

  2. In your final semester of coursework, you must complete a Graduation Data Card. College policies and procedures on graduating from The College at Brockport are available at www.brockport.edu/registrar/faq/graduatinggrad.html.
