The MPA program aligns with Calvin’s mission to provide a faith-based, liberal arts education and helps students develop leadership, ethics, communication, and finance skills. Public and non-profit administration professionals work across a wide variety of organizations. Thus, Calvin University offers unique concentrations and certificates that allow students to gain specialized knowledge, including State and Local Government Administration, Law Enforcement Management and Leadership, Program and Policy Analysis, and Public Administration.

The MPA program is launching in Fall 2022 with a public administration certificate only, which includes the master’s program’s first two core courses. The full MPA is scheduled to begin in Fall 2023, and courses from the public administration certificate will apply to the full master’s program.
