Hi, thanks for your reply! Yes, it should be an easy answer - however I can see myself wanting to teach and work within organizations. Perhaps the right question to ask is whether the Dr.PH is recognized sufficiently and has good job prospects. Any input is appreciated, especially if anyone debated between the two also

Hi there! Anyone have any thoughts regarding the Dr.PH programs out there? I know the difference, the former is more practical in preparing its students for roles in government, policy making and leadership within organizations. The latter, the PhD prepares students for research and academic careers. However, which is more prestigious? On a personal note, my mother is pushing for a PhD as she believes it is more prestigious, however I'm not quite sure whether it matters all that much once in the 'real' world. Any thoughts?
