Hello, anyone interested to join an open house event on MPA?
A friend invited me to join their partner school’s event, baka lang may interested?
Event will be at EDSA Shangri-La at 4:30PM.
No entrance fee naman daw. 😅
I am curious to hear about the jobs you got with an MPA. It is something I am very passionate about and want to do, but I dont see any jobs posted that require it. I am also considering my MBA in accounting which I see jobs for all the time.
Hello, I have applied to executive masters in public administration at Syracuse-maxwell. I have mostly worked in India before and moved to the US a few years and have green card here. I want to pivot into working in the US non profit or public affairs role in the US.
It’d be valuable to know more about this course at Syracuse - maxwell and your experience. Please share your experience about the cohort, the placements and the support for that by the college and alumni. Also, what are you working as now after graduating this course? How difficult or easy was it finding a job after completing this masters? Any suggestions for me?
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 :)
I'm in a weird situation. I had to get a certain document signed by someone (a formal acquaintance, not a person friend), but I later realized that they wrote their name in a weird, untidy manner. They signed it, and then wrote their name underneath. The last name was what's untidy.
So now I'm scared that if i send this, the authority reading it won't be able to recognize the spelling, so they won't be able to process the document.
So what I did was, I went on google and entered the first name of that person and their organization, and it gave me their linkedin (which showed their full name).
So I'm now attaching an additional piece of paper to this form and explaining "If you are unable to properly read the name on the signed form, I was able to find them on Linkedin and here's their full name". Just as a precautionary manner. Because if it turns out that they can't even read the name, they might not be able to type it out in their system when processing it.
Is this a creepy thing to do? It feels like I'm going over some boundary. Even though its all public information. But I feel like the person who signed it might be thinking "How dare you look me up on Linkedin and copy my name from there"? Or am I overthinking?
I can't get them to sign a new form because getting this form itself is a horrendous task. Plus it took a lot of difficulty to even set up that event where they signed it.
Hello!
I was just accepted into Arkansas State for their MPA and I've been thinking about/concerned about the impact AI could have on jobs for MPA graduates. I plan to continue to work in local/state government in human services or policy/budgeting/legislating while talking classes but I'm wondering how everyone is feeling about the effect AI will have on MPA jobs in the future?
Would it be practically p possible to have job in this field. Or should I prefer Political Science over it . I have very less interest in this subject even after completing graduation in pol sc ( Hons)
Hi, ich schreibe gerade meine Bachelorarbeit zum Thema Arbeitszufriedenheit und FOMO im Zusammenhang mit hybrider Arbeit im öffentlichen Dienst. Ich brauche unbedingt Teilnehmende für meine Umfrage.

Ein paar kleine Infos zu mir: Mein Name ist Leonie Koren und ich arbeite nun schon seit 2022 im öffentlichen Dienst. Nebenberuflich absolviere ich zurzeit mein Studium in Wirtschaftspsychologie.☺️
