Why GGU?

We have been educating professionals in public administration since 1965, and are the only institution to offer an EMPA degree program in the Bay Area.
Golden Gate University is accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges Senior College and University Commission (WSCUC) and the National Association of Schools of Public Affairs and Administration (NASPAA), and is a signatory to NASPAA's Code of Good Practice in Public Affairs Education.
