DEPARTMENT SUMMARY:
Public Policy and Administration (PPA) is a department within the
College of Social Sciences and Interdisciplinary Studies at
California State University, Sacramento (Sacramento State). The
mission of the PPA Department at the Capital Campus of Sacramento
State is to prepare future leaders to address the complex issues
that face California. We serve the State of California and the
Sacramento region by developing leaders with strong analytical
tools and a deep commitment to public service. We are excited to be
part of Sacramento State Downtown - a hub for innovative teaching,
learning, and research, fostering collaborative partnerships to
address real-world issues and improve the quality of life in the
Sacramento region.
The Master's degree in Public Policy and Administration (MPPA) ()

graduate students-many of whom work in state or local government.
Our students are diverse and represent populations that have been
historically underserved in both undergraduate and graduate
education.
Our core academic program is the MPPA. We also offer a Certificate
in Collaborative Governance for matriculated graduate students. We

Leadership degree, the Judicial Administration Certificate Program,
and the Executive and Judicial Fellows Programs (part of the
nationally recognized Capital Fellows Programs). We are a vibrant
department, expanding in students and faculty, and are looking for
a department chair who will lead our growth.
PPA faculty focus on developing engaging curricula that include
project-based work and application to current policy and
administrative issues in California. Courses are taught primarily
in the evenings to accommodate students who are full-time working
professionals. Our curriculum is evidence-based, with a strong
focus on ensuring that students leave the program with the ability
to: (1) synthesize, analyze, and offer ideas to improve policy and
practice; (2) apply knowledge and skills in a professional setting;
and (3) recognize the role of policy and administrative
professionals in society. We encourage our graduates to analyze
systems and practices to surface systemic biases, including
structural racism, that advance or impede a more just and equitable
society.
