MPA in Public and Nonprofit Management and policy
Specializations & Electives
After completing the schoolwide core courses, PNP students choose an area of specialization in which to concentrate their studies.
Each specialization requires a specified set of advanced courses, along with a Capstone project. Students are then free to select other Wagner and New York University graduate courses as electives to enhance their program.
Electives
In addition to these areas of specialization, students can organize their remaining electives around important themes, such as:
- Human Resources Management
- Environmental Policy and Management
- Information Management
- Nonprofit Management
- International Policy and Management
- Social Issues
- Urban Economic and Community Development
- Transportation Policy
- Applied Economics
Clustering elective courses around an issue area enables students to develop a course of study that most closely meets their needs and interests, and provides specialized training and an area of expertise.
