Applicants for the BA/BS/MPA degree need to complete their general education requirements and have a GPA of 3.2 or higher.  Applicants should be entering or be in their junior year.

Qualified applicants take the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) and apply to the MPA program during the first semester of their junior year. 

Applicants complete MPA graduate application requirements, including personal statement, GRE, and three letters of recommendation. The Rutgers School of Public Affairs and Administration (SPAA) notifies successful applicants of acceptance before the end of the junior year.
