The Township Governance Academy consists of 70 required credits, obtained by attending a curriculum of 12 courses and earning electives credits. The coursework is divided into three categories:
· Foundations Courses (28 credits)
· Boardsmanship Courses (24 credits)
· Electives (18 credits)

After completing each course, TGA candidates will be asked to take the information they’ve learned a step further by trying out an idea or concept of their choosing in their township and then reporting the results to MTA. It’s a simple process, but one that will get you thinking and putting what you’ve learned into action.

The TGA curriculum will repeat on a regular basis, so you can enroll in the program at any time taking courses as they work out in your schedule. Once you enroll in the Academy, any credits you obtained will be applied six months retroactively.
