Eligible students from any undergraduate discipline admitted to the dual-degree program can enroll in up to 12 credit hours of graduate-level public administration courses that fulfill requirements for both their bachelor's degree and the professional MPA. These 12 credits, whether completed at undergraduate or graduate level, also satisfy the requirements for an undergraduate minor. While the Askew School doesn't provide an undergraduate major, students pursuing degrees in fields like Interdisciplinary Social Sciences, Political Science, or International Affairs may apply relevant public administration coursework toward both their major and MPA degree requirements when taking equivalent graduate-level classes.
Ranked among the nation's top institutions of its kind, the Reubin O'D. Askew School of Public Administration and Policy provides undergraduate students with minor options and a concentration within the interdisciplinary social science (ISS) program, along with an accelerated five-year bachelor's-to-master's program. High-achieving undergraduates from any field can initiate graduate coursework in the professional MPA program while applying these credits toward their bachelor's requirements. Students may allocate up to twelve hours of elective space for graduate public administration courses that simultaneously count toward both degrees. These graduate courses completed through the combined program also fulfill the undergraduate public administration minor requirements. Additionally, qualified undergraduates meeting major requirements through public administration courses in political science or interdisciplinary social science programs may apply twelve graduate credit hours toward both their bachelor's major and MPA degree completion.
