Gannon University’s Master of Public Administration Program gave me the tools I need that let me able to effectively solve problems and capture opportunities as a public administration professional. The mission of the MPA Program is to provide us with the vision, values and leadership skills required for successful professional and rewarding personal lives.

The programs are geared to prepare qualified specialists in the leadership of public organizations in accordance with the highest global academic and applied levels. A parallel program for a Master's degree in Public Administration and Management of Health and Hospitals was also started. The program offers evening courses in order to allow employees and workers in the public and private sectors to join it. In 1429 H (2008), the Department started a doctoral program in Public Administration for the purpose of contributing to the upgrading of scientific research in the field of management and solving administrative problems faced by non-governmental organizations and the public. The undergraduate programs in Public Administration have been discontinued after the restructuring of the College and the introduction of other departments such as the Department of Management in order to achieve the goal of this program. These departments include a selection of Public Administration faculty who are graduates of the finest universities in the world and have leading contributions in research. Many of them obtained professorship in public administration. It should be noted that these programs are introduced in the Department of girls.
