Continuing Professional Development through the Management Development Centers

The MDCs have established partnerships with two prominent universities that support our commitment to leadership development. Our partnerships are intended to provide our graduates with enhanced opportunities to join with their colleagues from other public agencies-Federal, state and local-as well as those from the nonprofit sector, in advanced degree programs designed for:

  • Public or nonprofit sector executives who seek the opportunity to engage in structured studies in public management and policy
  • Senior professionals contemplating a career change who can benefit from acquiring an advanced degree
  • Managers on the verge of promotion into senior ranks who wish to enhance their analytic, managerial and leadership skills

University of Colorado at Denver

Through our partnership with the Graduate School of Public Affairs (GSPA) at the University of Colorado at Denver, MDC participants can earn an Executive Masters in Public Administration (MPA). The program offers a combination of courses taken from the MDCs (up to 18 credit hours) with courses completed online.

American University in Washington, DC

Through our partnership with American University, MDC courses can be applied toward university credit. MDC courses can count for up to 12 credit hours toward American University's Master of Public Administration (MPA) or Master of Public Policy (MPP) degree, or toward AU's Key Executive MPA program.

American Council on Education (ACE)

Many courses offered by the MDCs are certified by the American Council on Education (ACE) for college or graduate credit. The credit hours vary depending on the length and content of the course. ACE serves as a registry for students to collect ACE-certified course credits for nontraditional training courses. After paying a one-time fee to establish a transcript with ACE, students can use ACE to collect and maintain a permanent record of classes and credits. The ACE transcript is accepted for transfer credit at most universities, depending on specific degree programs. The transcript also serves as an easy way for degreed participants to document continuous learning.

Receiving College-Level and Graduate-Level Credit

In keeping with our commitment to continuous learning to foster informed and creative leadership in the Federal Service, the MDCs offer several ways to turn your quality educational experiences with us into graduate-level university credit toward an advanced degree.
