WHAT IS MPA?
MPA is an analogue of the MBA in the sphere of state and municipal governance
MPA is a program uniting the people with a degree and sufficient working experience
MPA is multidisciplinary because state and municipal governance means various competences in many areas, including economics, law, policy, communications, and many other
MPA is practice oriented: final project is based on the professional activity of a student, taking into account the individual experience and real-life problems to be solved. Theoretical knowledge is a basement for summarizing of the previously accumulated experience and an incentive for testing of new models and working mechanisms
MPA is a program where the state and business “meet each other”. Learning together at the same classrooms, discussing practical issues of cooperation between the society, the power, and entrepreneurship, the students have a unique chance for better understanding and more efficient cooperation in the future.
