MPA/MMOL Dual Degree

Suffolk’s Master of Public Administration (MPA) is all about developing yourself as a public service professional. When combined with our unique Master in Management and Organizational Leadership (MMOL), you can learn to become a better leader and collaborator in the government, healthcare, nonprofit, or corporate social responsibility sector.

The Princeton Review: Best Business Schools, 2022If you envision your career to be one that evolves and expands across more than one path in both public or nonprofit organizations, Suffolk's unique MPA/MMOL Dual Degree is ideal for you. Gain a broad set of public administration skills—an ideal foundation for public or nonprofit budgeting, collaborative public management, performance management, and more—and complement them with a focus in management and organizational behavior which provides interpersonal skills that are crucial when it comes to making a favorable impression and successfully forging connections in any organization.

In a much shorter time frame than pursuing each degree subsequently—in as little as four full-time semesters—this unique dual degree program will help you become an effective negotiator, communicator, and manager. Additionally, Suffolk MPA/MMOL dual degree students benefit from both the NASPAA accreditation of the MPA degree and the AACSB accreditation of the MMOL in Suffolk's Sawyer Business School.
