Online MPA Advantages
With excellent academic and technical support, our online students flourish with acquiring knowledge and engaging in the online learning environment. See below why UNO's online MPA Program is one of the best.
High-Quality Curriculum
UNO's online MPA program was the first accredited MPA program in the U.S. to be delivered completely via the Internet, so you can be assured of a high-quality degree program meeting nationally ranked standards of professional education.
The program is accredited by the Network of Schools of Public Policy, Affairs and Administration (NASPAA), which conducts a rigorous, voluntary, peer self-study review process. The UNO MPA has been offered online since the year 2000. UNO's MPA program is ranked by U.S. News & World Report.
Outstanding Professors
The same faculty who teach on-campus, teach online. These faculty are national leaders in the field as scholars, in professional associations, and have extensive practitioner experience.
Students will find that the faculty and support staff have plenty of experience fostering and sustaining an active online learning community. Students and faculty have the opportunity to meet each other during their orientation session.
Convenient
Students participate in their courses either day or night as the online courses are asynchronous. Most online students work full-time, so they design how they integrate their course participation throughout the semester.The online program schedule is designed for students to take one or two classes per semester. A student beginning in the fall semester taking two courses each semester (including summer semesters) can finish the 39-credit hour degree in two years plus one additional course.
A student beginning in the spring semester may need to pause during the summer semester as no beginning core courses are available.
