Public Administration

“My M.P.A. in Urban Management gave me a cutting edge. When employers compared my resume to others, the degree from St. Mary’s set me apart because my public administration skills applied directly to my job. The networking opportunities helped me get that first job.”
– Sandra Kiolbassa-Walsh, (M.A. ’93)
