International Students

Make a real difference internationally with a degree in Public Administration or Urban Affairs and Public Policy

Students from abroad who earn degrees in the US are well-positioned to make a real difference in their home countries or other countries.

At the University of Delaware, international students are enrolled in our MPA program as well as the MA in Urban Affairs and Public Policy and PhD in Urban Affairs and Public Policy programs.

Go Global: MPA/MPP Degrees Make a World of Difference

The MPA program at UD has partnered with its accrediting body NASPAA, the National Association of Schools of Public Affairs and Administration, to let you know what you can do with a Public Administration or Public Policy degree earned at a US institution. For more information on this initiative, go to www.globalmpa.net.
