The Human Services and Social Justice Program offers a combined Bachelor of Arts in HSSJ/Master of Public Administration degree in partnership with the Columbian College’s Trachtenberg School of Public Policy and Public Administration (TSPPPA). The 40-credit combined program allows students to complete 12 credits as part of the undergraduate studies, thereby completing the master’s degree on an accelerated timeline.
BA/MPA students in HSSJ complete a one-credit-hour prerequisite course (PPPA 6000) during their junior year in preparation for master’s level coursework. BA students taking public policy and public administration (PPPA) graduate courses must work with a TSPPPA advisor in addition to their HSSJ advisor.
