The Master of Public Administration is accredited by the National Association of Schools of Public Affairs Administration (NASPAA) and is designed to prepare graduates for
middle or senior level positions as public administrators. The primary focus of the program is on in-service students seeking to undertake graduate study on a part-time basis in order to upgrade and improve their practical skills and theoretical backgrounds. These students come from municipal, county, state, and non-profit agencies in the region served by Kean University. Each year a small number of students are admitted without extensive government experience.
