Description

The Master of Management/Public Administration program (MM/PA) is designed to enhance the management skills needed to function effectively within an organization. Students focus on leadership and management-the human side of an organization. This program emphasizes emerging management theory, techniques, and practices.The College of Graduate Business has created interactive, multimedia, case-based simulations that place students in real-world environments and require them to apply critical thinking skills to decision-making situations. Each simulation offers learners the opportunity to identify the information required to solve the problem, assess alternative solutions, and receive feedback on their choices.The MM/PA program develops management skills in defining business problems, assessing information, considering alternatives, and choosing the best solutions. Graduates attain the skill sets necessary to evaluate and manage the challenges facing contemporary organizations.The MM/PA program consists of 39 credit hours. Thirty credit hours constitute the core curriculum and nine additional credit hours complete the MM/PA program. The final trio of courses allows the student to customize the degree program in a given specialization by focusing on current developments and business problems and issues relative to the specialization. The core begins with a three-credit, six-workshop program prerequisite-Managerial Communication and Ethics-designed to build strategies for success in the program. The remainder of the core courses provides a foundation of analytic and conceptual skills for effective managerial decision making in the real-world organization.The Public Administration specialization requires students during the last three courses to complete a capstone project of their own choosing that solves a significant problem in public administration. The specialization addresses public policy analysis and public financial management. Throughout the specialization learners explore the varying needs of internal and external stakeholders in the public sector and how public managers can tailor their communication and problem solving approach to each group. Another common theme is the development of creative solutions to public sector needs in an environment of limited resources.
