Evergreen's MPA program is designed to create a learning community

We admit a class (cohort) of students to explore core concepts of public administration together. MPA cohorts start in the fall.

The MPA program has three cohorts

  • Olympia - Open for Fall 2023, begins every fall
  • Tacoma - Open for Fall 2023, begins every two years (odd years)
  • Tribal Governance - will be open again in Fall 2024, begins every two years (even years)

MPA applicants choose which concentration they would like to pursue

  • Public & Nonprofit Administration
  • Public Policy
  • Tribal Governance (must be admitted to the Tribal Governance cohort)
