The Wagner School and NYU undergraduate College of Arts and Science (CAS) offer a combined degree program for students to earn the Bachelor of Arts and Master of Public Administration degrees in five years. Students complete 28 of the 60 credits required for the Wagner MPA while they are still undergraduates. These 28 credits should include the five Wagner core courses or the designated CAS equivalents, along with two specialization courses.
Students must formally enroll in the joint degree program while they are still matriculated in the College of Arts and Science.
