Time to Graduation
The School Public Affairs attracts students at a variety of points in their professional development including students actively seeking their first public service appointment to midcareer public servants seeking career advancements. Program flexibility allows the MPA program to meet the scheduling challenges of students. UCCS has established that a graduate student is full-time if s/he takes at least five credit hours per semester (three credit hours in summer). If a full-time student takes two courses, or six credit hours, per semester and does not attend summer sessions, a typical occurrence, it will take that student three years to complete the MPA program (internships notwithstanding). Those part-time students who complete only one course per semester, or those not able to attend every semester, will require longer to complete degree requirements.
