MHA & MPA Capstone Projects
PADM 689 Capstone course is the culmination of the master’s degree programs in public administration and health administration at the UNM School of Public Administration.

Working in partnership with a healthcare, nonprofit, or government organization in New Mexico, students show proficiency in thinking through and applying what they have learned to real issues facing these organizations.
