The Clark University branch campus in Israel offers the Master of Public Administration with two concentrations.

The Health Systems provides students with the opportunity to understand and analyze the current health care system, placing emphasis on a thoughtful critique of the system's current methods of management.

The Local Government concentration is designed for administrators of cities, towns and other local configurations. The courses look at the various structures and roles of local government and issues pertinent to local administrators. Special emphasis will focus on effective fiscal administrators, effective human resource development, policy advocacy and new ways of thinking about local government.
