MA/MS in Public Administration

The Master of Public Administration comes from what the university describes as the longest-standing department of its kind around San Francisco. It serves working students who want deep familiarity with how public agencies work and what concerns they face, policies and practices involved in managing public organizations. The degree totals 27 units and is delivered online or in hybrid format through the Ageno School of Business. Program leadership holds information sessions on admissions, tuition and deadlines. GMAT and GRE scores are not required, and the program page lists an early application deadline for the spring term. Golden Gate University publishes the program in its San Francisco catalog, and prospective students can request more information from the admissions office before applying. The program is intended for adult learners who balance study with employment, so the schedule reflects that need. Applicants should review the official page for current course lists, prerequisites and application steps.
