Master of Public Management Part-Time Track (Pittsburgh)

As an experienced professional seeking to advance or change careers, you already possess unique expertise and specialized educational needs. The Master of Public Management (MPM) program at Heinz College's Pittsburgh campus capitalizes on your expertise and meets those needs by offering specialized training in management and related fields.

The MPM degree, developed by a world-renowned faculty, is designed to promote your personal and professional development by providing skills, analytical techniques and strength in communication. We also foster an environment of collaboration and open communication with our students.

The Part time MPM program offers:

  • Flexibility
  • Enhancement of current job skills
  • World-class faculty
  • Challenging coursework

We understand that busy professionals with full-time career and family pressures may still want to pursue their education, and our par-time program gives students the flexibility to attend school while still tending to their lives at home and at work. The environment fostered through the MPM program brings students of different ages, backgrounds and experience together to create a truly unique learning environment.

If you’re interested in pursuing the MPM degree part-time, you can take classes in the evenings. Candidates may begin the part-time track in May, August, or January. For part-time study, the coursework can be completed at a pace appropriate to your personal and work responsibilities. Most students in the part-time track can complete the program in two years, but you have up to five years.
