Hi everyone,
As someone who wants to work in education policy in either North Carolina or DC going forward, I am really struggling with this decision. Both Heinz DC and Duke offered me decent scholarship money, though with Heinz I have the option of earning a salary as I work in DC my second year. Duke has amazing NC connections and I would have the opportunity to take classes full-time for the two years, which may give me a more thorough skill set. With Harvard EPM (Education Policy and Management), I would save money with a one year program, but the degree wouldn't be an MPP, only an M.Ed.
Thoughts???
