The Master of Public Affairs (M.P.Aff. or M.P.A.) a part of public affairs degrees, historically has been a master level professional degree offered in public policy schools that provides training in public policy and the operation of government, similar to a Master of Public Policy. UCLA for example recently changed the name of one of its buildings from simply the "Public Policy" building to the "School of Public Affairs" building, wherein the department of Public Policy remains, while the departments of Social Welfare and Urban Planning have instituted programs at the graduate level. This building is directly across from the UCLA guest house, which is near the northeastern edge of campus itself, along Hilgard.
