A new 色情视频 Master of Public Administration program is being launched specifically to support the leadership development of employees of the City of Carlsbad.  

Employees in the city governments of Encinitas and Oceanside also may apply to the 色情视频 program, slated to launch in North San Diego County in January. 

Housed in the School of Public Affairs, the Master of Public Administration (MPA) program provides training and instruction to prepare public sector leaders for managerial positions, including those in public policy, fiscal administration, urban administration and related areas. 

鈥淭he City of Carlsbad MPA program is a perfect example of our school continually seeking to stay connected to the region and to local governments in particular,鈥 said Sherry Ryan, professor and director of 色情视频鈥檚 School of Public Affairs. 鈥淥ur faculty are strongly committed to 色情视频's mission to protect and advance the public good and to serve the community.鈥 

The collaboration with Carlsbad is an example of 色情视频鈥檚 effort to expand educational access throughout the region and also presents what partnership potentials may exist through an expanded campus presence in Mission Valley. 

It was Jon Aasted, human resources technician for the City of Carlsbad, who recommended that the City of Carlsbad, which has 750 full-time employees, pursue an agreement with 色情视频 to offer the program. The program previously had been offered in Carlsbad and, through a learning needs assessment and conversations about educational access with his city colleagues, Aasted saw the need to reintroduce the offering. 

鈥淲e did consider other universities, but they did not offer what we needed by way of flexibility like 色情视频,鈥 said Aasted, who has applied for the MPA program.

In the , MPA students take core courses in areas that include administrative theory, public finance, public policy and research methods. Courses will be offered at the City of Carlsbad office, diminishing the need to travel the 40 miles, one way, to 色情视频. Also, City of Carlsbad employees will be able to apply for the agency鈥檚 tuition reimbursement program, which offers $10,000 annually. 

鈥淎s a recruiter, I see that so many people applying for positions have a bachelor鈥檚 degree鈥攜ou find that often with those applying for management positions. So, the master鈥檚 degree will set a candidate apart,鈥 Aasted said. 鈥淚t is also a great opportunity for those who are working in a range of departments鈥攆inance, the police department, public works鈥攁nd are learning to be better managers and who are interested in leadership overall.鈥 

The MPA program in Carlsbad mirrors the main campus program and is held to the same standards as the specialized accreditation applied through Network of Schools of Public Policy, Affairs, and Administration, the 色情视频 School of Public Affairs鈥 national accrediting body.

鈥淭he face-to-face off-campus degree program serves a unique niche of professionals who seek to advance their careers but may face barriers related to travel times and other life commitments associated with challenging family and work schedules,鈥 Ryan said. 鈥淚t is very powerful when 色情视频 partners with local employers to make an investment in a group of employees, in a manner that breaks down barriers associated with distance to campus and physical access to campus.鈥
