The University of Texas at Tyler will offer a new Master of Public Administration track in non-profit management. Programming begins this fall, and registration is now open.

“We are excited to offer this new track for our Master of Public Administration degree,” said Dr. Amir Mirmiran, provost and executive vice president for academic affairs. “Many non-profit professionals in East Texas do not have access to education or build their skill sets through experience only. With this new track, they will now be able to further their education and enhance their skill sets while earning a quality UT Tyler master’s degree.”

The two-year, 36-credit hour program is offered 100% online.

For more information or to register, contact Dr. Richard Helfers, UT Tyler associate professor and program coordinator, at rhelfers@uttyler.edu or 903.566.7399.

Housed within the Department of Social Sciences, the UT Tyler MPA is a professional course of study for those in or preparing for mid-level or upper-level management positions in public and non-profit organizations. Other tracks offered include general administration, criminal justice and local government management.

With a mission to improve educational and health care outcomes for East Texas and beyond, UT Tyler offers more than 80 undergraduate and graduate programs to 10,000 students. UT Tyler recently merged with The University of Texas Health Science Center at Tyler (now known as UT Tyler Health Science Center). Through its alignment with UT Tyler Health Science Center (HSC) and UT Health East Texas, UT Tyler has unified these entities to serve Texas with quality education, cutting-edge research and excellent patient care. Classified by Carnegie as a doctoral research institution and by U.S. News & World Report as a national university, UT Tyler has campuses in Tyler, Longview, Palestine and Houston.
