Continuing Your Success

The School of Public Affairs offers Executive Programs with accelerated courses, flexible schedules, and special services to sharpen your skills and expand your network. The Office of Executive Programs (OEP) offers degree, credit bearing, and non-degree Leadership Programs. OEP degree programs are tailored for individuals who want the full benefit of an accredited MPA degree to advance their careers and are ready for an accelerated program of graduate study.  The credit bearing courses provided by OEP help education professionals advance their careers by accruing credit towards an MSEd.  Our non-degree Leadership Programs, each one designed in concert with a sponsoring institution, all seek to prepare participants for added responsibility in their organization.

OEP offers the following programs which confer an accredited MPA degree or accrue credit towards an MSEd:

• Executive MPA

• National Urban Fellows

• United Way Senior Fellows

• Aspiring Principals Program

• New Leaders New Schools Program

Whether degree, credit bearing, or non-degree, all programs are staffed by a team of energetic professionals, dedicated to providing participants and sponsoring organizations with the highest standard of service. The OEP staff facilitates curriculum design and delivery, student services, facilities management, and where relevant, access to College-based financial services such as student loans.  The OEP is dedicated exclusively to serving executive students and is the only campus office that students who are in good standing deal with prior to graduation. This means that participants in Executive Programs can stay focused on their studies. Most come to campus only on instruction days or to use campus facilities such as the William and Anita Newman Library or the Athletic and Recreation Center. Relations with the Bursar, the Registrar, the Bookstore, and other campus offices are handled by the OEP.

But the OEP is more than an intermediary. Our staff members get to know program participants and their needs. They monitor academic progress and arrange for early intervention when necessary. Through the OEP, every program participant always knows a phone number and a person to call when questions arise.
