Overview
The Public Administration program at California State University East Bay is designed to assist full and part-time students in preparing for professional careers in positions of administrative leadership in public and quasi-public organizations, for teaching positions in the community colleges, and for advanced doctoral studies in public administration. The MPA Program is offered at the Hayward Hills campus.
Program Perspective
The Department focuses on expanding the meaning of public administration in government agencies and non-profit and community organizations. Overall, emphasis is placed upon developing in its graduates sensitivities to a wide variety of human, social, and organizational realities in order to assist public organizations in formulating and achieving their goals and striving toward responsible social change.
The program builds on several assumptions:
- that many complex and far-reaching social problems require the stewardship of public agencies;
- that the citizens are the central focus of everything public administration does or ought to be;
- that public agencies should encourage democratic practices, personal education and growth, and the improvement in the quality of life within the public sector workplace;
- that public agencies should nurture and support a critical awareness on the part of public administrators, leading to an ability to challenge and change administrative practice; and
- that public administrators need to find creative and innovative ways to provide quality public services, especially in times of resource scarcity.
