MPA-only Courses available

These courses are available only to students already admitted to the MPA program, or by permission of Dr. Stanley.
PADM 6490 & 6230: These two courses are hybrid, and while they both meet on Thursdays, other than the first night of class the courses will NOT conflict because we are coordinating the meeting schedule.  Therefore, you MAY take both classes this semester if you would like to. You will need a schedule-time override to register for the second course once you sign up one of the pair, however - just email Dr. Stanley with your T-number and the course name that you need the override for, and he will let you know when you can finish registering. (The first night, go to whichever class you choose, after break we will ask you to switch and go meet the instructor for your other class.)
