Graduate Pathway program (GSOM) to Master of Public Administration (MPA)

Clark University places a strong emphasis on experiential learning, through internships or capstone research. This approach allows students to apply and improve their professional skills, analytic and research skills, and pragmatic problem-solving in areas specific to their professional aspirations. Students gain valuable experience testing their theories and implementing creative solutions to complex problems while acquiring the practical experience they need to advance in their career.

The Master of Public Administration (MPA) program equips students with the leadership and analytical skills students need to realize their vision. 

The Clark University Master of Public Administration provides students with solid classroom training in research methods, public management, public affairs, nonprofit leadership, marketing, and management. A capstone project allows students to demonstrate their knowledge and professional competencies as they apply them to challenges faced by a “real-world” organization.
