Online MBA in Public Administration

By the OnlineU team | Updated 3/10/2021

An online MBA in public administration helps students prepare to solve problems related to business administration and practice. These programs focus on advanced business skills as they pertain to the organization of public sector enterprises. Students graduating from an online MBA in public administration program may pursue work in fields such as criminal justice, business management, or public administration.

Job opportunities and possible positions might also include police chief, prison warden, court clerk and tax assessor. Online MBA in public administration programs will generally include coursework in finance management, human resources management, information management, and organizational theory. Classes cover subjects like business relations, public budgeting, enterprise management, public service ethics, public finance, public policy, statistics, and research methods. These courses aid students in understanding how business and economic concepts apply to public organizations.

As with most master degree programs, applicants are usually expected, and in some cases required, to have some work experience. Applicants who haven’t worked in business or government prior to applying for an online MBA in public administration program may be encouraged to work in an internship to gain relevant work experience.
