I know there is difference in field areas but there are a lot of similarities in both fields too.
Your Management Sciences department can offer both programs but MPA is not equivalent to MBA as per HEC policy. If I am not wrong, your degree basically concentrates on NGO and government sector management but MBA provides education for private sector management.

If you are interested in MBA, I would recommend you to choose best university for that because “brand names” sell well. Without prior experience in business administration, IBA/KSBL graduates are taking 60K plus initial salary packages in Karachi.
