Directed by Assistant Professor Dr. Geoffrey Whitebread, Gallaudet's Master of Public Administration Program has thrived, and now serves 50 students.

This mix has made it important to build in flexibility, Whitebread notes, which is why the program offers both on-campus and fully online options and holds classes in the evenings, allowing students to balance the course work with jobs and family responsibilities. “It’s growing and growing fast because it meets students where they are,” says Lecturer Sean Maiwald, ’16.
