For the second year, the Department of Housing and Urban Development and the University of Maryland will offer a master's degree in public policy with a concentration in public housing administration. The program will accept 15 to 20 candidates for classes at the College Park campus beginning January 2002. HUD will provide up to $300,000 toward the cost of tuition, fees and books. HUD's contribution will be structured as a forgivable loan, with one-third of the obligation retired after each of the three successive years the candidate works for a housing authority following completion of the degree. Applications are due November 9, 2001.
