Top 3 Public Financial Management Programs in the U.S.!

The Master of Public Financial Management (MPFM) is designed to meet the national demand for well-trained financial managers for public and non-profit organizations and prepares students for careers in public financial management, accounting and budget analysis.  Offered 100% online and asynchronously, the MPFM courses and schedule are designed for working and non-traditional students to engage in their classes at their own pace while taking two classes per semester (8 weeks each).  The 36 credit hour program includes all the courses found in the Graduate Certificate plus an additional 24 hours.  Students in a fully-online program are charged in-state tuition.

For more information, contact the Program Director, Rhonda Trautman.

All online MPA and MPFM prospective students that submit their applications for admission to the Graduate School by May 31 will be considered for a small scholarship towards their tuition. The scholarships will be announced the first week of June.
