I want to know the Master of Public Administration (MPA) vs Master of Business Administration (MBA) program?

[pawan]

Both a Master of Public Administration (MPA) and a Master of Business Administration (MBA) focus on organizational management, students who want to work in the public sector are sometimes unsure about which professional degree to choose.

Although there is some overlap in the coursework for these two degrees, there is a key difference in program focus.

An MBA program provides training in private sector management.

The emphasis is on economics, finance, and marketing, preparing students to lead business organizations where profit generation is the goal.

In contrast, an MPA program concentrates on management of nonprofit and public sector organizations. The mission of these organizations is to serve humanity and improve the social condition.

Managers in public sector organizations need to understand that the success of their organization is difficult to measure.

Another key difference between private businesses and public sector organizations is how they obtain funding for their continued operation.

In the case of private businesses, funding is a component of profit generation.

Public sector organizations are usually funded by donations, foundations, and government grants.

An MPA program will provide the skills needed to obtain this specific funding.
