No MPA Left Behind: A Review of Information Technology in the Master of Public Administration Curriculum

Abstract This report describes the current state of information technology (IT) in the Master of Public Administration (MPA) curriculum. Data were collected through a review of graduate program information contained on MPA program websites. Findings are that the majority of programs do not offer IT concentrations, core courses, or electives. While IT courses have been adopted in a limited capacity, there are opportunities to improve their adoption in order to satisfy public workforce demands. Such integration could be done using existing courses, promoting faculty skill development, or utilizing expertise found in other academic disciplines.
