The Master's Degree in
Public Administration (MPA)
The Master of Public Administration (MPA) Program as the University of
South Carolina was created in 1968 in response to a growing demand for
professionally-trained public administrators at the state and local
levels of government. As the only free-standing MPA program in
South Carolina, it provides an assortment of generalist and specialized
educational opportunities for both in-service and pre-service public
management professionals. The degree requires a minimum of 39,
and a maximum of 48, semester hours of credit, depending upon the prior
preparation of the student. The program is fully accredited by
