At the University of Miami, the Master of Public Administration (MPA) and Master of Public Policy (MPP) programs prepare students to lead and serve through evidence-based, ethical, and innovative governance. Situated at the crossroads of the Americas, Miami offers a living laboratory for tackling complex public challenges—from climate resilience and urban management to public innovation and digital transformation. Our programs guide students to good governance through applied learning, data-informed decision-making, and a deep commitment to advancing the public good.
Students develop practice-ready skills in policy design, program evaluation, and management while learning from faculty whose research shapes the future of public service.
Whether advancing their current careers or launching new ones in government, nonprofits, or the private sector, graduates of Miami’s MPA and MPP programs are equipped to lead with integrity and deliver results that strengthen communities—locally, nationally, and globally.
Both the MPA and MPP programs at the University of Miami prepare students to lead with integrity, make evidence-based decisions, and strengthen communities.
