As a culminating experience in the Master of Public Administration program at Southern Arkansas University, all students are required to complete a professional project that demonstrates their ability to apply the skills and knowledge they obtain during the course of their studies to a real-world problem or policy issue. This project is student-led, instructor-facilitated, and is designed to showcase students’ analytical, organizational, and communication skills while addressing a practical challenge faced by a public, nonprofit, or community organization.
