I am trying to decide where to accept admission - between UC Berkeley's MPP and Cornell's MPA program. UCB is ranked number 6 and Cornell at number 36 in US News rankings. However, my interest area is international devlopment, and Cornell has a much better international development focus compared to UCB. Fees for both schools is coming to the same amount so financial aid is not a deciding criterion. Any advice? Also is there a big difference between MPA and MPP programs?
