MPA or MPP? What’s the Difference

Register for this event if you are interested in learning more about the MPA program at UNC.

This event will specifically dive into the differences between a MPA and a MPP.  We will be joined by a UNC MPA alumna, Tiffany Oliva and current student, Charlie Rocci.  Both students received their undergraduate degrees in Public Policy from UNC and joined our online MPA format.  This session is for anyone exploring the MPA, and we will talk about both of our format options – online and on-campus.

Topic areas that will be discussed include:
– What is a MPA, and who is it for?
– MPA vs. other degrees
– Program Outcomes, Careers
– Student Experience
