DePaul’s School of Public Service has delivered NASPAA accredited degree programs since 2002. Our masters degrees educate ethical leaders to work in local, state and federal government. Through our cross-sector approach to learning, research and service, we help government leaders to connect domestic and global issues, alleviate poverty and build responsive government. We promote compassion for marginalized communities and service to all people with accountability, justice, professionalism, sensitivity and transparency.
The School of Public Service holds official NASPAA accreditation for two of our degrees:
Public Administration (MPA)
Public Policy (MPP)
