SF State MPA Eportfolio: Overview of Assignment

You will find information and guidance here on how to complete your eportfolio.

The goal of this eportfolio is to have each student present what they have learned in their MPA degree program according to the Department's student learning goals, to format that work to present to potential employers and to give each student an opportunity to reflect on what they have learned.

Every page, including the front page of the eportfolio, should contain a narrative and at least two or three examples of your work for the area.  Images and / or videos or sound files could also be included.

Your eportfolio will include the following areas:

• Introduction
• Career Objectives and Professional Goals
• MPA Competencies

• Knowledge of Public Administration
• Knowledge of a Subfield within Public Administration
• Professional Skills
• Writing
• Critical Thinking
• Oral Presentation
• Team Work / Leadership

• Resume and Contact Information
• Information about the MPA from the SF State Department of Public Administration

Finally, you need to write a two page reflective paper on your MPA degree, what you feel you have learned and how you intend to use, or leverage, your newly minted degree.
