PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION, ACCELERATED BA/MPA
Through the BA+MPA program, students may complete a BA in Urban and Regional Studies and a Master of Public Administration through the Levin College of Urban Affairs in five years, instead of the six academic years normally required of full-time students. High performing undergraduate students may apply to the 5-year program during the third year of undergraduate study and, if accepted, complete MPA coursework during the fourth year and a transition term. Students may then complete all remaining MPA coursework in two semesters of full-time graduate study.
