First of its kind in Kentucky when created in 1968, the
Master of Public Administration program prepares qualified
individuals, both entry level and mid career, for advanced
professional positions in the administration of public and
non profit programs. The program also may be appropriate
for individuals in the private sector who have responsibility
for public sector contracts, regulatory compliance, or other
liaison and oversight activities.
Special emphasis is placed on regional and
local government in Kentucky and the Region. In addition to
a general option, specialized programs of study are offered
in community development administration, community health
administration and environmental health administration.
For admission to the program, students must
meet both the general requirements of the Graduate School
and the requirements of the MPA program. Students in the MPA
program come from a variety of undergraduate degree programs,
and admission decisions are based on an overall assessment
of a student’s application and ability to meet admission
