The Public Affairs PhD - Public Administration MPA Dual Degree Track offers high-achieving students a pathway to simultaneously obtain both a Doctor of Philosophy in Public Affairs and a Master of Public Administration.

Upon finishing the dual degree requirements, participants receive two separate diplomas: one for the MPA and another for the PhD.
Prospective students interested in the PhD/MPA Dual Degree must submit their application specifically to this combined track. A single application suffices for admission consideration.
