Online Programs
Explore the two online programs available in the field of public administration: the MPA and the graduate certificate in public management.
Online MPA
UNO’s School of Public Administration offers a professionally oriented Master of Public Administration (MPA). UNO’s online MPA program has been offered online since 2000. It was the first online MPA program to be accredited in the country by NASPAA. The online program is taught by the same faculty who teach on-campus.
Online MPA students may select from the following concentrations and specializations:
Concentrations
- Emergency Management

Specialization
Online Graduate Certificates
If you are a working professional whose career is advancing in public management or nonprofit management, the graduate certificate can develop your management skills needed in the work place. If you are a graduate student, the certificate offers management tools you can apply towards your graduate degree program and broaden your knowledge.
Orientation, Building Community
New online students are required to attend the one-day on-campus mandatory orientation prior to the start of beginning their course work. Students build their learning community, meet their faculty and advisors, and learn about library resources and technology assistance to support academic needs.
