MPA Program

The Master of Public Administration program at California State University Fullerton is the original public administration program in Orange County, educating professionals since 1968. The program builds upon students' knowledge and interest in American government and public policy at the local, state, or federal level and in the nonprofit sector. With more than four decades in Orange County we have a strong relationship with local governments and agencies in and around Southern California, which employ many of our graduates. Alumni include city managers in four Orange County cities and leaders in many others as well as managers in public and nonprofit  agencies across the region.
