Time to Completion

Full-time students in our graduate degree programs typically complete their degree in 18-24 months, while part-time students generally finish in three years, depending on the number of courses taken per semester. The program can support part-time attendance, providing flexibility with a typical completion time of three years.  

Our graduate certificate option offers adaptability, enabling students to customize their learning experience based on individual needs and commitments. 

The JD/MPP dual degree, with careful planning, allows students to finish both programs in three years. Please note, applicants must apply for admission separately to each program and will receive distinct admission decisions. 

Course Format

All required courses are taught at the Water Tower Campus or online. About half of the classes offered each semester are offered online.
