" As Public Service Chair of PASA, I have volunteered alongside many of my colleagues in different service projects in the Chicagoland area.  I like how this MPA program provides opportunities for students to interact with each other in the classroom and outside the classroom environment.  It is a flexible program that enables students working full-time the ability to take classes at night.  I would highly recommend the MPA program at UIC to prospective students."

" I feel confident that my whole experience at UIC has trained me to be an excellent practitioner in the field. One of the most important lessons I have learned inside and out of the classroom has been that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts: working with others may be challenging, but the end result often represents something bigger and better than any one person could produce on his or her own."

"The best thing about the program is feeling like you are on the cutting edge of the field. It is really satisfying to hear one of your Professors discussing their research in class and then see their research featured in a national newspaper the next day."
