Good afternoon, MPAs and others interested people.

The Tarleton MPA program is growing fast -- started in 2015 with just under 20 students, offering 3 course to over 115 students offering 17 courses -- online and face-to-face -- fall 2017.

The program will offer over 20 courses in spring 2018.

We have grown from one full time assistant professor to two full time assistant professors and 7 adjunct faculty. To accommodate the increased enrollment, the School of Criminology, Criminal Justice and Strategic Studies has added another full-time professor exclusively for the MPA program. Dr. Jacqueline H. Abernathy has a Ph.D. in Public Administration and Management from the University of North Texas and has been teaching in this field since 2010. Moreover, Dr. Abernathy brings over 12 years of practical experience working with non-profits, governments and other non-governmental organizations (NGOs). Dr. Abernathy represents one such NGO at the United Nations and hopes to include students heavily in her research agenda.

Please, spread the word, our MPA is a core based public administration program that is focused on making our students successful both educationally and professionally.

You are our best recruiters.

We have several interesting opportunities that we are pursuing -- the opportunity to offer our MPA degree in Prague, Czech Republic, which might also allow for a summer Study Abroad program and proposing a B.S. in Public Administration at the RELLIS campus of Texas A & M.

Our Motto: All communities deserve great leadership.

Again, welcome back! We are delighted that you chose Tarleton for your MPA and look forward to another successful semester.
