    Tentative Course Schedule

    The schedule may change as circumstances necessitate. All of the MPA courses are taught fully online.

    Research Practicum (POLS 7500) requires prerequisites of Foundations of Public Administration (POLS 7202) and Research Methods for Public Administration (POLS 7400). The Capstone Seminar (POLS 7410) must be taken after the other core courses have been completed or during the same semester as the last core courses are being completed. Students should note that core courses are scheduled during the summer term and should plan accordingly. Refer to the university's academic calendar for information on starting and ending dates of semesters and sessions, deadlines for withdrawing with a “W" mark, etc.

    * Important disclaimer: Any schedule of courses must be understood to be tentative, in that university authorities reserve the right to cancel courses because of inadequate enrollment, the need to staff other necessary functions, etc. On a semester-to-semester basis, the best way to ensure that the course you want to take will not be canceled is by pre-registering for it
