HRN_films-poster3-Sp17UNCG’s MPA Program Rated in Top 50 Nationally!
UNCG’s MPA program has been ranked in the top 50 list of MPA programs nationally. Among 400 MPA programs researched, our MPA was highly rated because of our program’s affordability, NASPAA accreditation, salaries, and prestige. Only two other NC programs are in the top 50–NC State and UNC Chapel Hill. There certainly are other strengths of our program that we would brag about (great students and faculty, small classes, applied research projects, and networking opportunities), but we’ll take it!
