The MPA Online
The Online UIS Master of Public Administration degree is designed to impart essential knowledge and skills to the non-traditional, time-restricted, place-bound, and long-distance learner preparing them to be successful in professional and administrative employment in public and nonprofit sectors.
The 40-hour MPA degree follows the same curriculum as the on-campus program with a few exceptions. Certificates in Nonprofit Management, Labor Relations, and Homeland Security are not offered online, nor is the concentration in Criminal Justice. However, the joint-degree in MPA/MPH is now available through our online program.
Application for admission to MPA online mirrors the process for on-campus admission, requiring two separate application submissions.
- See Application Process for the admission process instructions.
All materials must be complete and in the program office before these deadlines for applications to be considered. In addition, local students are generally not admitted to the online major without extenuating circumstances. These circumstances should be documented upon application.
The University of Illinois at Springfield is a national leader in online education. Look closer into online.
Applying for an online course is the same procedure as applying for an on-campus course.
