Overview

Public Administration is the field of public service and prepares students for employment in government and not for profit organizations. Students entering the field are committed to serving the public interest.

Our mission is to offer a high quality education in public administration founded in democratic governance. Our faculty at California State University San Bernardino combine practical experience with high academic credentials, and our staff is dedicated to supporting student success.
