Students new to the MPA program are asked to arrange a meeting with Dr. David Briley, the program director, at briley@etsu.edu to discuss their goals within the program and determine what concentration area they will be following. Once the student affirms the concentration area, they will work with the appointed adviser for that specific concentration.
Students should meet with their advisors regularly, especially towards the end of their program of study, to prepare for the capstone and graduation.
