College of Business Administration & Public Policy

About

Established in 1973, the College of Business Administration and Public Policy (CBAPP) is a productive and professional environment of excellence in academic programs and scholarly activity. Undergraduate and graduate programs in Business Administration, Public Administration, and Criminal Justice Administration are led by four academic departments and the School of Public Service and Justice consisting of scholarly tenured, tenure-track faculty and lecturers. Our programs have been granted regional accreditation by WASC, business programs accreditation by AACSB, and public administration accreditation by NASPAA. CBAPP has the second largest enrollment of the professional schools at CSUDH, and more than 20% of CSUDH degree recipients are CBAPP students. Out of the top five undergraduate programs at CSUDH, Business Administration is #1, and Criminal Justice Administration is #3. Faculty, staff, students and Advisory Board members contribute to the continuous success and growth of the College on-campus and in the community.
