Public Administration
The SF State Master of Public Administration (MPA) Program offers students the opportunity to earn their MPA by taking a mix of in-person and hybrid courses in the heart of downtown San Francisco. The MPA Program is nationally accredited by the Network of Schools of Public Policy, Affairs, & Administration (NASPAA).
The SF State Master of Public Administration program is a pioneer in the field of using hybrid courses. Our program has operated effectively with the remote delivery of our curriculum (online, hybrid, in-person, and Zoom) throughout the COVID-19 pandemic and is looking forward to another robust year with our MPA students and a new crop of SF State Scholars (BA + MPA).
Be a part of our innovative and rewarding professional program, geared for working adults. Our program is built upon high impact educational practices, traditional and hybrid courses, a convenient location in downtown San Francisco right over the Powell Street BART Station, and the best value for your tuition dollar in the Bay Area.
