The mission of the UCF School of Public Administration is to provide the highest quality graduate and undergraduate education for current and future public service professionals. Instituted in 1975, the school has since grown to a network of more than 4,800 alumni, more than 2,000 students and more than 40 faculty and staff. The school offers a NASPAA-accredited MPA degree and an MNM degree, both of which are ranked by U.S. News and World Report. The school also offers graduate degrees in research administration and urban and regional planning, two undergraduate degrees and seven certificate programs, including a graduate certificate in emergency management and homeland security. Students can also choose to enroll in the dual MPA/MNM program or the dual MPA/M.S.CJ program, which is the first interdisciplinary dual degree at UCF to be offered between two units.
