MPA Application Process
The SIUE MPA Program values the diverse experiences that each student brings to the program and the classes. We have a few simple steps in our application process:
- Submit an Application for Admission to the Graduate School.
- Mail a copy of your undergraduate transcripts to:
Southern Illinois University Edwardsville
Office of Graduate Admission
Box 1047
Edwardsville, IL 62026
- The Public Administration and Policy Analysis program director will review your application. A grade point average of 2.7 (on a 4.0 scale) is required for a normal admission. Applicants who do not have a 2.7 grade point average, but are between 2.5 and 2.7, will be asked to produce additional credentials (resume, references, letter indicating why the student is seeking to pursue the MPA, etc.).
After being accepted into the program, make an appointment for advisement with:
Dr. Drew Dolan, MPA Program Director
Public Administration and Policy Analysis
Southern Illinois University Edwardsville
Alumni Hall, Room 3128
