Want to turn your passion for public service into meaningful policy impact? Join us on September 17 for a virtual conversation with MPA Faculty Director Matt Hall and Associate Director of Masters Programs Mary Garin to discover how Cornell’s Master of Public Administration (MPA) prepares students to lead across government, nonprofits, international organizations, consulting, and the private sector.

During this session, you’ll get an inside look at Cornell’s MPA program and learn how its interdisciplinary, applied curriculum combines rigorous coursework with opportunities to gain real-world experience and develop the skills needed to lead in a changing policy landscape.

In this session, we’ll cover:

• The MPA’s seven concentration areas and interdisciplinary approach to public policy and administration
• Real-world learning through internships, client-based capstones, field treks, and semester-long externships in Albany, New York, and Washington, D.C.
• Opportunities to learn from world-class faculty and engage with policy challenges beyond the classroom
• What it’s like to study and live in Ithaca
• The MPA admissions process and application requirements
