Mission
Consistent with President Gonzalez’ “Destination 2010” vision, our goal is nothing less than to make Sacramento State a major destination for the study of public policy and administration, and one of the best places in the country to focus on state and local arenas. We hope to challenge students to think in new ways. We aim to offer our graduates a wide range of skills that are highly valued by a diverse set of employers. We want our faculty to be committed and innovative teachers, active scholars contributing to both academic and practical knowledge, and engaged professionals active in the life of the University and in wider communities. We intend that department staff members are true partners in meeting the needs of the various groups with whom we interact. And we want to build a reputation for excellence for our students, alumni, faculty, and staff.
