On July 1, 2013, SUFE MPA program became an NASPAA member.
     Founded in 1970, NASPAA (Network of Schools of Public Policy, Affairs, and Administration, originally the National Association of Schools of Public Administration and Affairs) is the membership association of public administration schools as well as the authoritative accrediting body in public service education. NASPAA has over 280 member schools through over 40 years’ development. 
     Becoming a NASPAA member and actively participating in NASPAA activities enable our university to better learn and master MPA certification standard and procedures and play a part in the development and implementation of international public administration education standards, thus promoting more Chinese MPA schools to actively participate in international public administration education cooperation programs, improving China’s international influence on MPA education, effectively spreading China’s experience in public administration and education and enhancing the international community’s accurate understanding of China’s development in public administration.
