Master of Public Administration - Health Administration in Northridge United States | California State University, Northridge

The Master of Public Administration (MPA) serves as the ideal professional degree for working administrators across public, private, and nonprofit sectors seeking to enhance their management expertise. This program offers a rigorous yet practical curriculum tailored for midcareer professionals holding bachelor's or master's degrees in non-public administration fields who now require advanced training in this discipline. Recognizing that most MPA candidates balance work commitments, the program provides flexible scheduling through two delivery options: open enrollment and cohort formats. Open-enrollment students enjoy the freedom to complete coursework at their preferred pace, while cohort participants (typically 25 students) progress together through a predetermined schedule of off-campus classes designed specifically for their group.
