The Public Administration program from University of North Carolina Wilmington offers a flexible curriculum that allows students to fully prepare for career goals, outstanding faculty with academic and professional experience, full-time and part-time tracks, afternoon and evening courses to meet almost everyone's scheduling needs, and great internship opportunities. Most students can finish in two to three years. For example, students who want to graduate within two academic years, we suggest they take nine credit hours for four semesters and six credit hours during their first summer enrolled in the program. 

As of our current reports, 82.6% of students completed the program within the desired timeframe. 77.7% of part-time students finished the degree in under the designed program length, primarily due to summer course offerings.
