Bachelor's-Master's eligibility requirements
Policies
Credit Requirement
Through our Bachelor's-Master's track, you can complete as many as 21 of the 45 credits (7 courses) required for the MPA or MUP. Graduate credits that you earn as undergraduates may also apply towards the 128 total credits you need for the Bachelor’s degree.
Overlapping credits may come from a combination of Wagner graduate and their undergraduate equivalents. After earning the Bachelor’s degree, and pending admission to Wagner, you can complete the remainder of your MPA or MUP credits in generally one to two years of additional study.
Specializations
When applying to the MPA or MUP, you will need to choose a specialization within your intended degree program. It also benefits you to seek work, volunteer, and leadership experience related to your intended specialization to support your graduate application.
MPA in Public & Nonprofit Management & Policy Specializations
MPA in Health Policy & Management Specializations
Masters of Urban Planning Specializations
Sequencing
In order to complete an MPA or MUP degree one year after earning your undergraduate degree, you need to complete all the Capstone prerequisites for your specialization before matriculating into Wagner as a graduate student.
You can find Capstone prerequisites in their intended specialization Program Requirement Checksheet.
