Overview

Master of Arts - Public Policy and Administration

Launched in 2005, this program offers students the unparalleled advantage of engaging with public, non-profit and private sector organizations in Canada’s largest metropolis. 

TMU's downtown Toronto location is a significant asset in supporting student research, networking and elective placement/internship opportunities. 

In 2007-08, the program received the highest possible evaluation from an Ontario Council of Graduate Schools (OCGS) review, and in 2008 was the first program in Canada to earn accreditation from the Canadian Association of Programs in Public Administration (CAPPA)

The program is offered in full- and part-time options.

Co-op placements are becoming increasingly popular. 

In the Public Policy and Administration MA program, full-time students can earn one-course credit on a Pass/Fail basis for a co-op placement through enrolment in PA8213 Co-op Placement.

Co-op placements provide opportunities for full-time, non-practitioner students to earn academic credit for relevant work experience, normally outside the university.
