The Master of Public Policy and Administration blends aspects of both a Master of Public Administration (MPA) and a Master of Public Policy (MPP) degree, merging the strategic, analytical focus of public policy with the operational and managerial aspects of public administration. The result is a degree for professionals who want to be adept at both shaping and implementing policies in a wide range of public service areas.
Students in Cal Lutheran’s MPPA program gain expertise in areas such as public administration theory, public policy implementation, research methods, law and ethical leadership. The degree is ideal for those seeking a career involving both the development and management of public policy.
