公共行政部提供的BPA / MPA学位课程相结合，使合格的学生能够在比依次获得学位所需的时间更短的时间内获得两个学位。被录取到综合学位课程的学生将被视为具有大学学位，直到该学生申请从本科学历课程中毕业。授予学士学位后，该学生将被授予研究生身份并成为MPA学生。
The combined BPPS/MPA degree pathway offered by the Department of Public Policy and Administration allows qualified students to earn both degrees in a shorter amount of time than typically required for earning degrees sequentially. A student admitted to the combined degree pathway will be considered to have undergraduate status until the student applies for graduation from their bachelor's degree program. Upon conferral of the bachelor's degree, the student will be granted graduate status and be eligible for graduate assistantships.
