"A degree in public administration prepares students to take on leadership roles and to work within a local, state, or federal government," as GBS editors explain; "The primary goal of professionals working in public administration is to work toward the greater good of a nation or group." Now, as ever, civil service is one of the most reliable career paths, and an MPA can have a big impact on career opportunity. For students considering an MPA program, "A key factor to consider is your networking opportunities. Does the program offer internship opportunities? Does the school have mentorship programs to help students with networking?" The connections made in an MPA program can be a significant boost.

GBS rankings always cover the gamut of on-campus and online programs. Their goal is to provide useful guidance to new graduates and career-changing professionals alike. According to the editors, "By looking into rankings, networking opportunities, and the school's standards, it is possible to find the best programs for your goals." Whether that is an online program for a seasoned adult already in public service, or an on-campus program dedicated to professional development, whatever is best for the student, the GBS rankings are intended to point the way to the best MPA for each unique need.

Going to the right school is important for every student. Great Business Schools doesn't get caught up about which schools are the "best." They focus on what makes business schools great places for students to learn and grow. Rankings and resources that reflect a wide range of needs and priorities are what set GBS apart.
