Academic programs
editMaster of Public Administration (MPA) Program
On December 16, 2009, DSG graduated its first cohort of 32 students from an intensive, one-year Master of Public Administration (MPA) program. This program is specifically designed for mid-level public sector professionals. It aims to train students in the theory and techniques of public sector management, enabling them to better understand the political and social contexts in which public policies are formulated and public services are delivered.
The MPA program was conducted in coordination with the Harvard Kennedy School’s Faculty Advisory Committee until 2011. However, the MPA degree is solely awarded by DSG and not by Harvard University.
Executive Diploma in Public Administration (EDPA)
DSG offers an Executive Diploma in Public Administration (EDPA) in partnership with the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy at the National University of Singapore.
