An accepted student’s academic transcript must list a course in American Government.
If it does not, the student must either complete the POLS 1101 course (American
Government) offered by Augusta State University, complete a comparable course at
another institution, or take the CLEP test in American Government and achieve a score
of at least 46.
An incoming MPA student must demonstrate computer literacy to the extent that he
or she is capable of word-processing and using spreadsheet software and as called for
in the budgeting and research methods courses. A statement attesting to one's
competency in basic computing skills is signed by the student at the beginning of the
research methods course. A skills assessment test may be administered by the course
instructor to those who are without formal training in word processing and spreadsheet management.
PADM 6500 and PADM 6600 are cohort courses; that is, students who begin the
Research Methods class continue with the same research project through the
Quantitative Methods class as a sequential course. It will not be possible to enroll
in the Quantitative Methods course without first having taken the Research Methods
course which immediately preceded it.
