NCSCPM Builds on Strategic Partnership with the NC State University MPA Program

 

The NCSCPM Board of Directors recently hosted Dr. Jerrell Coggburn, Chair and Associate Professor of the NC State University Masters of Public Administration (MPA) program.  Dr. Coggburn also accompanied the membership committee during its recent outreach visits to the 2010 CPM classes.  The partnership between the CPM program and the NC State MPA program has been in place for some time and the Society feels it’s important for members to be made aware of the opportunity for continued formal education that builds on the skills and knowledge set attained through the CPM Program.  In recognition of this knowledge set, the CPM certification reduces the required MPA credits by 6 hours.  We encourage members to consider this opportunity as a way to continue their commitment to life long learning and professionalism in public service.
