CIPA offers a two year program of study leading to the Master of Public Administration (MPA) degree. With an interdisciplinary curriculum, our students have access to faculty members across Cornell University, which is among the largest and most diverse of the Ivy League universities.

Our graduates pursue successful careers across a wide range of spaces, including education, healthcare, criminal justice, sustainability, and economic policy. If you want to solve some of the world’s most complex public policy challenges, CIPA should be the next step in your career.

CIPA offers rolling admissions. To receive consideration for funding, we encourage you to submit your application as soon as possible.

While we cannot accommodate on-campus visits at this time, we encourage you to schedule a phone or Zoom call with our Cornell MPA Staff.
