• All Public Administration (PAD/EPS) courses are offered at the MetroCenter, 55 St. Paul Street, downtown Rochester, unless otherwise noted.
• MPA Public Safety Emphasis courses have their own prefix—EPS. All courses with the prefix “EPS” are part of the Public Administration program. In addition, many PAD core and elective courses are “cross listed” with both EPS and PAD prefixes to enable students in the Public Safety Emphasis to be able to take a wide variety of Public Administration courses. Generally, Public Safety Emphasis students should register for those courses that are listed with the prefix “EPS.” Students in the General or Health emphases should continue to register for PAD courses.
• Many MPA courses use ANGEL Learning System as part of the course, either fully online or as an integral component of your course.  For more information on MPA ANGEL courses, visit www.brockport.edu/pubadmin/mpa_angel.html.
