The Executive Master of Public Administration (EMPA) at the Cornell Brooks School of Public Policy is designed for experienced working professionals, typically with a minimum of 8 years of relevant work experience. The program is delivered in a flexible, cohort-based hybrid format combining asynchronous and synchronous online coursework with two intensive in-person sessions on Cornell’s Ithaca campus. The EMPA curriculum emphasizes strategic planning, management, policy analysis, leadership, and project management. Students complete 36 credits over 18 months, choose elective concentrations (including Public and Nonprofit Management and International Policy), and undertake a capstone project guided by faculty and Executives-in-Residence. The average study commitment is 18–20 hours per week. The EMPA is suitable for mid- to senior-level professionals seeking to advance their careers in public, nonprofit, or international policy sectors. 来源： https://publicpolicy.cornell.edu/masters/mpa/residential/apply/
