Am I too young to pursue an MPA?
I am currently 23 and graduated from my undergrad in May 2025. I currently have a full-time job at a regional/local nonprofit. I plan on staying in this position for while but am also considering enrolling in a part-time, online MPA program. I'm honestly still in the research stage of this process, so odds are I wouldn't even begin a program until spring 2027 (more realistically, fall 2027) at which point I will be 24. I am curious as to if I am too young?
A lot of the main drawbacks I see people discuss about pursuing an MPA so soon out of undergrad have to do with the amount of real world work experience and tuition costs.
In terms of experience, I plan to keep my full-time job (if everything goes my way, haha, but with this job market who knows) while pursuing the degree part-time, so by the time I graduate I also would have around 3ish years of real world work experience in non-profit.
In terms of tuition, I have decent savings and plan to apply to a program in-state. I also still live at home so I don't have to worry about rent or anything like that (thank you parents <3).
Are there any other disadvantages about pursing an MPA at my age that I haven't considered? Any advice is appreciated, thank you :)
