Alumni Testimonials
Read what our alumni have to say about our program.
"The University of Dayton Master of Public Administration program affirmed my yearning to have a career in public service and to be part of a cause greater than myself. As a child and young adult, I utilized several social service programs and came across a lot of people who genuinely cared about improving the lives of others. This formed my desire to become a public servant and pay it forward, especially to those who are vulnerable, underrepresented and underserved. I enrolled into the UD MPA program after working at a local city for two years. The MPA program's public policy and management curriculum allowed me to build on my work experience and prepared me for growth and leadership in my career. Today, I’m able to apply the lessons and skills learned in the MPA program in my daily work as a public servant."
