MONROE, La. — The University of Louisiana Monroe’s online master’s degree in Public
Administration (MPA) has been named one of the nation’s most affordable by GradSchoolHub.com.
ULM came in at the #9 spot, outranking 21 other schools, including Clemson University,

of Illinois, among others.
The ranking company examined 84 schools that offer an online master’s degree in public
administration. From this pool of schools, the company selected those that had earned
rankings from major publications like Forbes magazine, The Princeton Review, and U.S.

way over the next couple of decades,” said Dr. Joshua Stockley, professor of Political
Science at ULM and co-coordinator of the MPA program. “Individuals with an MPA are
not only in high demand, but are well paid. When coupled with our affordability, it
is clear that ULM's MPA degree is a very sound financial investment."
