SIPA offers seven different degree programs and as a reminder, this blog focuses mainly on our two-year, full-time MIA and MPA degree programs that have been in place for decades.  However, SIPA also started a new two-year, full-time degree program this year – the MPA in Development Practice.

While the skills developed in the MPA-DP are similar to our other two-year programs, it also has a unique focus on development issues in Africa and the entering class is much smaller.  You can learn more about the MPA-DP program through attending an information session and by utilizing the contact information below.
