Student Experiences

 

Steve Bartha, MPA '08

"I selected UConn over other MPA programs for three reasons.  First, the program is large enough to offer students the flexibility and freedom to design a degree that fits their personal and professional goals, yet small enough that students feel constantly encouraged and supported by the faculty.  Second, the strong, analytic foundation of the program allows students to develop a practical set of real word policy tools.  Third, the program's strong ties to the professional community throughout Connecticut, New England and Washington D.C., afford students an array of internship opportunities in local and state government during the program and valuable connections beyond."
