Public administration is concerned with the design and execution of public policy at all levels of government. That is, it is concerned with the quality of American life. There are 89,000 governments in the U.S., 22 million people working directly for the public sector, and approximately a third of our national GDP is generated by public agencies. Public administration is a large and vital contributor to our national well-being. |

The Department of Public Administration offers both a major
and a minor in public administration at the undergraduate level.
The master’s degree, the MPA, has a general management
focus which students can customize through their electives. A Quick Glimpse of the DepartmentThe Department is the only one in the Inland Empire accredited by the National Association of Schools of Public Policy and Affairs (NASPAA). The quality and experience of the faculty is exceptional. The core faculty are distinctive in their connection to the community and their scholarship. Faculty have served in elected functions, governmental advisory boards, and as executive officers in agencies, giving them “real world” insights. This is augmented by highly accomplished adjunct faculty who help bring today’s administrative world into the classroom. Some of the faculty also have national reputations for scholarship in leadership and management. The Department is increasingly offering online opportunities for students, especially at the graduate level where all core classes are now available in virtual formats. Additionally, the Advisory Board—composed of agency heads and senior managers from across the region—ensures that the Department is well connected in terms of contemporary needs and internships.
