Features: MBA education originated in the United States. Through nearly a century of exploration and effort, it has cultivated a large number of outstanding business management talents, creating the myth and miracle of U.S. economic development. MBA is hailed as the "cream of the crop" and management elites, becoming special figures respected and envied in the business world and even society, and even regarded as heroes in the business community in the public eye. Statistics show that the majority of top executives, such as CEOs and chairmen, in the top 500 companies in the United States are MBAs. This remarkable fact is the best testament to the success of MBA education. MPA education also originated in the United States. In some developed countries in Europe and North America, MPA has a history of more than half a century in operation. Currently, there are over 220 universities in the United States offering MPA programs, with over 30,000 students enrolled. The graduates of MPA primarily go to local, state, and federal government agencies, non-profit public organizations, think tanks or consulting firms, and some work in human resources and administrative departments in enterprises. In the U.S. federal government, 10%-20% of employees, and 50%-60% of workers in the field of public policy, hold MPA degrees or similar qualifications.
