Yeah, the cost is basically the same. I am particularly interested in developing my quantitative analysis skills and supplementing that with some formal management training. The DC track at Heinz would allow me to apprentice full-time but the curriculum is focused on policy and is set-in-stone. UT would allow me more flexibility in taking classes related to local governance. Are you a current student at Heinz? (I assume based on your program title.) If so, are there students in your program who are pursuing careers in city/local/state government? Thanks for your reply!
