The Masters Degree in Public Administration (MPA) is a professional management degree for those in public service careers.

The MPA develops the skills and techniques used by leaders and managers to implement policies, projects, and programs that promote ethical democratic governance, while addressing organizational, human resource, and budgetary challenges.

The MPA at the University of Alaska Southeast is tailored for busy public and non-profit managers who seek to enhance their credentials and broaden their horizons. The UAS MPA program comes to you - where you work and live in Alaska and Yukon.  The degree is offered to students in Alaska and Yukon through live classes broadcast on television and over the internet.  The MPA at UAS combines the relationships and structure of the regular classroom with the accessibility of a distance delivered program to create a stable, supportive and high quality education.
