The MPA program at Indiana State University requires 36 graduate-course credits of in-service public sector or non-profit sector professionals for a grant of the degree. During his or her first semester in the MPA program, each student will plan a course of study with help from PA faculty. Most students are able to complete all requirements in two to three years. The Master of Public Administration program offers a concentration in genomic advocacy in cooperation with the Certificate in Genomic Advocacy program, which students may choose to pursue.University regulations allow the transfer of up to 12 credit hours of work from other universities. Coursework transferred into the MPA must be recently completed. Each course transferred must also either carry a course description that, in the judgment of the PA faculty, is substantially the same as the description of the course it replaces in the case of core courses, or it must meet the cognate rule, in the case of electives.<br><br>Students without significant public or non-profit sector history acquire hands-on administrative experience through a three-credit internship taken toward the end of their programs. The addition of the internship will add three credit hours to the 36 credit-hour total. Students who enter the program without significant experience will have taken a total of 39 credit hours upon leaving it. They also will have at least three months of administrative experience within their internships.
