Why Choose Merrimack's Online M.P.A.?

I can’t emphasize enough how much the staff is involved in the graduate student experience at Merrimack. All of the professors I had throughout my graduate program always went the extra mile. Every professor genuinely wanted all of us to succeed. I felt like I had an army behind me that supported me throughout my experience.
