Can students both attend the MPP Program and work full-time?
Policy Analysis is a full-time program for 15 months (full-time in 9 months and part-time in 6 months). Classes will be delivered from Monday to Friday, from 8:30 to 11:45 am for morning sessions and 13:30 to 16:45 pm for afternoon sessions. Some courses are offered for both concentrations, classes will be 8:30 to 11:45 a.m. and 13:30 to 16:45 p.m. Given the schedule and heavy workload, tremendous efforts and attention are expected from students, making a full-time job impossible. Students may be asked to leave the program if found working in a full-time job or attending a different full-time program.
Leadership & Management is a part-time program for 18 months. Students can attend the program and work at their full-time job at the same time. Classes will be arranged every 6 to eight weeks for 9 days, from Saturday of one week to Sunday of next week, starting from 8:30 to 11:45 am in the morning and 13:30 to 16:45 pm in the afternoon.
