Master of Public Administration

VIA DISTANCE LEARNING

ACCREDITATION

Indiana State University is accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools. The Public Administration Program was established as a semi-autonomous unit within ISU's Department of Political Science in 1976. The program is currently a member of the National Association of Schools of Public Affairs and Administration (NASPAA). It is also associated with ASPA, the American Society for Public Administration.

Core courses are offered by political science department faculty. Students may, with approval, take elective courses outside the department. Both core and elective courses may be transferred from other institutions, again with the approval of the program director. The full-time director of the public administration program manages both the M.P.A. degree program and the two PA certificate programs, and advises students.

Distance Education Students Residing Outside of Indiana:  Each of the states has its own approval processes for out-of-state institutions offering distance education. While Indiana State University endeavors to offer all of its programs to as wide an audience as possible, all ISU distance education programs may not be available in all states. 

The Catalog of Indiana State University is the document of authority for all students. The requirements given in the catalog supersede information issued by any academic department, program, college, or school. The University reserves the right to change the requirements at any time.
