MASTER OF PUBLIC
ADMINISTRATION
RESHAPE YOUR COMMUNITY
WITH AN MPA
“
When deciding on a potential
MPA program, I sought a
program that would provide me the practical
skills to lead in the public sector and
advance my community. As a professional,
I also needed the flexibility to further my
education without sacrificing my career. At
UIC, I saw a diverse institution embedded in
Chicago working with and on behalf of the
city. I plan to use my education to continue
my work in community development and
promote an equitable landscape
for all.
