Tarleton MPA Students and beyond,
Well, the fall semester is coming to a too quick end it seems. Finals are just ahead and papers are being finalized and ready for submission. I hope you all have had a great semester.
The MPA program has grown exponentially since it became a part of the School of Criminology, Criminal Justice and Strategic Studies -- from about 20 students in August 2015 to over 90 at this point. I hope you are continuing to get the word out among your colleagues and friends who are looking for a great MPA learning experience that will, no doubt, help them achieve not only personal goals, but also career goals.
