Our city cohort programs allow you to earn your MPA degree taking classes at city facilities during work hours. Combining a convenient schedule of face-to-face classes and online learning, city employees will benefit from maximum flexibility and a program designed to combine both academic and practitioner knowledge.
Currently, there are cohorts for Grand Prairie, Mansfield, and Fort Worth. There is a new cohort forming for Fort Worth for Fall 2024. For more information, please contact Dr. David Coursey at dcoursey@uta.edu
