Judicial Administration Concentration

The two-track concentration and certificate in Judicial Administration offers specialized training in the interdisciplinary study of the courts, a study coming to be recognized as a component of public administration. The program, developed in close coordination with a variety of court administrators, is open to currently enrolled MPPA students at Sacramento State. Three courses, or nine units, are required to fulfill the requirements of the concentration. Students may also opt to take an additional course to earn the complementary twelve-unit Certificate in Judicial Administration.
