Through most of our history we have offered the MPA program accommodating both local and distance students, always offered in a live real-time format, whether delivered by faculty traveling to the distant site, through interactive video, or, currently, through synchronous internet-assisted delivery.  

All courses are offered in a hybrid format. Each class has a group of local students, attending on-site at UND, and also has distance students who enter the classroom remotely from any location. This technology allows synchronous (“real-time”) delivery of the program to students in any location, as long as they have access to the required equipment. 

All students (whether receiving instruction on-site or online) are required to attend the “live” class. To accommodate working professionals, almost all MPA courses are offered in the evening (7:00 p.m. -10:00 p.m.).

For more information about the online delivery of the MPA Program visit the Division of Continuing Education. Online students will connect to the class meetings through Adobe Connect. Information regarding Adobe Connect and technical support is available via the Center for Instructional and Learning Technologies.
