The College of Public Administration was founded in March 2009, combining an old public administration school and a science history and technology administration school.

The college consists of the Department of Public Administration and the Department of Business Administration. It also has an experiment center, an MPA education center, an official-training center and a public administration and policy research center.

In 2001, the college started to provide three majors for undergraduate students -- Public Affairs Administration, Business Administration, and Administration Management.

In 2007, IMNU was approved by the State Council to enroll graduate students in a Master of Public Administration (MPA) program.

The college was also appointed by the local Party committee to be one of the eight training centers for officials.
