The Executive Master of Public Administration program is designed for public sector leaders throughout the world who already have achieved considerable professional success prior to being admitted into the program. It's a 19-month online graduate degree program, which also features three-day face-to-face executive sessions in both Phoenix and Washington, D.C. You participate in the program as part of a learning cohort, and the one-course-at-a-time online structure enables you to maintain a work-life balance as you immerse yourself in each topic. Your learning experience begins with an orientation and executive session in Phoenix. Approximately one year later, you reconvene with the class in Washington, D.C. for a second executive session. The executive master's degree program ends in Phoenix, where you present your applied projects. The program enables you to expand the breadth and depth of your professional network. The online curriculum attracts a more geographically diverse pool of applicants from around the world. The executive sessions in Phoenix and Washington, D.C. further enable you to develop deeper relationships with your classmates. You are selected to be a EMPA student based on your ability to demonstrate the value you would add to the learning experience of the entire class. A new cohort begins each year.
