THREE WAYS TO EARN YOUR MPA DEGREE

  • Traditional MPA

    Our one-year traditional MPA is open to students who hold a bachelor’s degree in any discipline from most academic institutions. In as little as one year, students can earn an MPA degree from the top accounting program in the nation! No work experience is required to apply.
  • Integrated MPA

    The integrated MPA is designed for current Texas McCombs undergraduates. iMPA students earn a BBA degree in accounting and an MPA degree in just five years, saving students both time and money by taking graduate level courses at undergraduate tuition rates.
  • ECON-MPA

    Our ECON-MPA is developed for current UT undergraduates majoring in economics. Students get a head start on MPA courses during their senior year and have the benefit of paying undergraduate tuition on graduate level classes. ECON-MPA students earn both a BA degree in economics and an MPA degree. Stay tuned for more information about the MPA Bridge Program!
MPA Student Experience
Having a background in accounting, specifically an MPA degree, allows me to immediately have credibility when I meet with new clients or my current client base and I’m extremely appreciative for that.
