Public Policy/Master of Public Administration 4+1 (BA/MPA)

Program Requirements:

The 4+1 programs allow qualified Public Policy majors to complete either an M.A. in Urban Affairs and Public Policy, a Master of Public Administration, or a M.A. in Historic Preservation degree while fulfilling requirements for the B.A. in Public Policy. These accelerated, combined programs enable students to complete both the undergraduate and graduate degree in five years, essentially reducing the typical time by one year. In the fall of the junior year, after the completion of at least 60 credits towards the B.A. degree, well-qualified Public Policy majors may be considered for the 4 + 1 programs. Students admitted to a 4+1 program will complete all the requirements for the B.A. in Public Policy, but follow a plan of study that includes advanced sections of the courses needed to complete the requirements for the major and provided advanced standing for the graduate degree. Application and program requirements are available at the website for the School of Public Policy and Administration: http://www.sppa.udel.edu.
