Public Administration, B.A./M.P.A.: Five-Year Combined-Accelerated Honors Program

Coordinator: Dr. Craig Donovan

J-302A, (908) 737-4032

The combined accelerated Bachelor of Arts and Master of Public Administration Honors Program is an option for a limited number of students who can demonstrate their academic excellence, who show effective oral and written communication skills, and who are ready to work harder to get ahead faster. Success in the program requires a high degree of self-motivation, maturity, dedication and well-defined career goals. Applications are normally completed in the student’s junior year. Beginning in their senior year, students enroll in a unique combination of undergraduate and graduate level courses that will qualify for both their undergraduate B.A. and graduate M.P.A. degree. Specific course requirements are described in a separate information and application packet available from the Department of Public Administration.
