CSAC Institute has partnered with California State University-Northridge to offer an exclusive, executive-level Master of Public Administration degree program. If you’ve ever thought about taking that next step in your education … this is an opportunity you will not want to miss!

The program is designed exclusively for California county staff and elected officials and will be focused on the challenges and opportunities counties face. No need to travel to class; this is an online program with three special Saturday seminars in Sacramento over the course of the program. You get to work with the same people through all of your classes. In this cohort approach participants take each class together, with one class every eight weeks.

CSUN is one of the largest MPA institutions in the country and has assembled an outstanding faculty for this degree program. Faculty includes both seasoned academics and highly-regarded national and regional public-sector professionals. Tuition for the entire 18-24 month degree was $24,840, however CSAC Institute has secured a 5% discount for county elected officials and senior staff and it is now $23,760. Financial aid is available through CSUN.
