Tsinghua SPPM was founded in 2000. As the first graduate school in public administration in China, the School’s long-term objective is to become a world-class institution that actively engages in teaching, research, and consulting in global public affairs. In July 2013, Tsinghua’s Master of Public Administration (MPA) program received the Network of Schools of Public Policy, Affairs, and Administration (NASPAA) Accreditation, which was the first MPA program outside the United States to receive NASPAA Accreditation. In August 2022, Tsinghua MPA program passed the NASPAA accreditation again, and has become the only program in China that has received a second NASPAA Accreditation.
