PORTFOLIO AND CAPSTONE

Catalog description

During this culminating semester of the M.P.A. program, students engage in three key activities to demonstrate their comprehensive understanding and skills developed throughout the course. These activities include: (1) craft a reflective capstone paper that describes the skills and expertise gained throughout M.P.A. courses and link them to core competencies, (2) compile a portfolio showcasing their most significant works from the core M.P.A. courses, representing their proficiency in each of the five main competencies, and (3) complete an online exit survey as a formal conclusion to the M.P.A. program.
