Hi everyone. I’m a recent graduate with a bachelor’s in History, and I’m considering getting a Masters in Public Administration (MPA) with a focus in Nonprofit Leadership. I’m currently an intern at a small food justice nonprofit and I want to increase my chances in the job market.

My problem is that I struggle with math. I’m great with qualitative, humanities-based studies, but I am challenged by even basic math. I plan on doing a lot of studying for the Math GRE.

I’ve looked at UConn and Binghamton’s MPA program, but my question is whether an MPA will be a good grad degree for someone who struggles with math?

Thanks in advance.
