The MPA Program at Stanislaus State is accredited by the National Association of Schools of Public Affairs and Administration (NASPAA).
A wide range of career opportunities are available in public administration and having an MPA clearly elevates the attractiveness of an applicant to the employer for such positions. Gainful employment in the federal government, state and local governments, and non-profits are the common professional routes for those with MPAs.
