The MPP program will push you to envision bold solutions while maintaining practical focus. You'll develop skills to craft impactful public policies, revitalize institutions, and foster strategic partnerships. As modern policy issues transcend single disciplines, you'll collaborate across fields and engage directly with communities, learning to synthesize diverse perspectives into meaningful innovations.

CGU's Los Angeles location provides direct access to critical societal challenges—from expanding immigrant communities and urban environmental concerns like sprawl and inequity, to renewable energy systems and educational transformation. Through the MPP program, you'll learn from top global specialists in these fields, tailoring your education through core curriculum and electives that connect your ambitions with real-world needs.

Create a personalized focus area matching your goals: urban planning, economic disparity, healthcare policy, water resource management, education systems, global development, and beyond.
Combine your MPP with another advanced degree. Pursue doctoral studies in psychology or a Public Health Master's, sharing credits between programs to reduce total requirements.
Launch into a influential professional path. CGU graduates hold dynamic roles across government agencies, corporations, and NGOs—making impacts from local communities to international arenas.
