learning and reflecting as it does on action. Therefore, implementing the project is, in a real sense, less important
than the learnings that students experience during the process of working on the organizational initiative. The action
learning project will also be the cumulative application of graduate-level courses in public administration. The exam"
itself consists of an oral report and a written report. In these, students are expected to draw on at least four public
administration courses and apply these AU learnings to their projects.Contribution to Human Capital Development
The Key MPA Program increases a graduate"s human capital through the following leader development competencies into the graduate"s behavior:1.All OPM ECQs,
2.The domains of emotional intelligence,
3.Regular periods of self reflection to better understand themselves, and the world in which they lead, and
4.A commitment to life long learning.
