The Department of Public Affairs in the Bloch School of Management offers a semester-long graduate consulting course each Spring semester (January through May). Graduate students in the Master of Public Administration (MPA) program complete this course near the end of their graduate studies. Student groups work with a faculty leader and participating public and nonprofit organizations to complete consulting projects. These consulting projects provide MPA students with the opportunity to gain important experience addressing real-world issues relevant to their professional and academic goals. Participating organizations can expect to receive high-quality work products that have been supported by the faculty of the Bloch School.
Public or nonprofit organizations interested in partnering with this course should complete the interest form at the link provided below. Although this course is offered each spring semester, project proposals can be submitted at any time. Projects for the spring semester will typically be selected and finalized in December. There are many other opportunities throughout the year to partner with the Bloch School and organizations should not hesitate to submit project needs at any time. To ensure consideration for a specific spring semester, projects must be submitted by November 15th of the previous year.
