We offer the M.S. in Public Service Management online- another example of
the ways the School continuously innovates to keep our curriculum relevant
and our programs accessible. Online students participate fully in the
programs, taking the same courses, from the same faculty. The online version
of the M.S. Public Service Management is fully accredited by the Higher
Learning Commission.
The School of Public Service Online program (SPS Online)
offers the M.S. in Public Service Management in a completely online format.
The online degree uses the same curriculum and faculty as the face-to-face
version. Faculty use an innovative mix of asynchronous learning (discussion
boards in the Blackboard course management system) with faculty-directed
synchronous learning (Wimba Live Classroom technology). he online degree is
a cohort-based program beginning each fall with online courses offered so
that students can complete the degree in two years without interruption. To
complete it on time, students enroll for 2 online courses per term (8
quarter hours) as a full-time graduate student. If you wish to take the
degree part-time you may do so with permission of the Director. SPS Online
students are also eligible at any time to enroll in SPS courses offered in
Chicago, Washington D.C., New Orleans, and in eight countries abroad
(Belgium, China, Croatia, India, Ireland, Italy, Kenya, Mexico, and the
Philippines)
The application deadline for admission in the fall term is
JULY 1; we announce admission decisions by JULY 8th. Because we expect the
program to fill, early applications will receive early consideration.
Please fill out the DePaul University
online graduate application and indicate ONLINE in
the comments section. Information sessions and personal interviews are
available; please contact Megan Balderston at
mbalders@depaul.edu for more information.
