Overview

The Public Administration - Public Management and Policy Analysis programme at California State University East Bay provides students with a grounding in major philosophical and social science thinking about the nature of organizations and helps students build the intellectual and practical policy tools needed to become effective organizational leaders in the public and non-profit sectors.

Career Opportunities

The demand for the public administration degree and profession has continued to grow and much of the growth has been driven by the complex requirements for capable government employees to serve the needs of citizens. Public administrators manage nearly every aspect of public service at the federal, state and local levels offering the opportunity to help shape the future of our society.

With vast numbers of citizens seeking help to access services at all levels of government and other public service organizations, the MPA programme is designed to equip our graduates with skills in areas such as policy analysis, management analysis, public policy, public management, nonprofit management, eligibility assessment, and programme assessment, just to name a few. In addition to meeting “demand” projections based on growth of job categories, the MPA programme faculty are also interested in graduates enhancing their effectiveness for jobs they may already hold. Improving work effectiveness of seasoned professionals who seek the MPA programme is another component of the opportunities we provide.
