MPA Fast Track

UNF undergraduate students have the opportunity to earn credits towards a master's degree in public administration (MPA) while working on completing the undergraduate degree. Up to 12 credit hours of graduate-level coursework can be taken, and these credits count towards both the undergraduate degree and the MPA.

Students must speak with their advisor to see if they qualify, and it is best to do this by your Junior year. The first step is to declare Public Administration as your minor and the required courses in the Department of Political Science and Public Administration. Applying to the fast track does not guarantee entry into the graduate program; students must apply to the program through the Graduate School.

In addition to earning credits toward a graduate degree with an undergraduate, students who graduate from UNF with a BA or BS and enter a UNF master's program also receive a discounted tuition rate for the remainder of the graduate degree through the Exclusive Graduate Tuition Rate program. Please see the Graduate School's website for more details.
