You will need two letters of evaluation as part of your application. These letters must be submitted by your evaluators, not by you. The graduate admissions office will not accept letters submitted by the applicant. Here’s how the process works:

1. Complete the first two sections of the MPA letter of evaluation form.
2. Save the form and send it to each evaluator you have selected. At least one academic reference is preferred, especially for traditional or accelerated applicants.
3. Each evaluator will complete the remaining sections and send the form directly to the Office of Graduate Studies on your behalf. Completed evaluations should be sent by one of the following methods:
   • Email: gradstu@uwgb.edu
   • Mail:
     Office of Graduate Studies
     UW-Green Bay
     2420 Nicolet Drive
     Green Bay, WI 54311

Submit a personal statement of no more than 1,000 words that includes:

• Your intended admission pathway (traditional, accelerated or executive)
• Your chosen track (public management or nonprofit management)

Additional requirements:

• If applying to the executive track, include your résumé with your application or email it to gradstu@uwgb.edu
