If you are interested in work experience, go to Carleton. Well, for federal government experience at least.

Read the program website, all of your questions answers are on there.

Carleton is simply better than UOttawa for Public Policy and Administration. They have better funding, faculty, coop placement rates, thesis/major research project options, etc. What are you comparing them on?

To the above two posters, Carleton's MPPA has a better reputation and coop placements than UOttawa (MPPA has above a 90% placement rate). However, if you are interested in International Affairs, you will not get that education in Carleton's MPPA, you should have applied to NPSIA. Well, you could take NPSIA electives I guess. Can you achieve your goal of working for GAC or an NGO? Of course, I am in the MPPA program and we have access to plenty of GAC coop jobs. If your goal is work in the federal government you should do the MPPA. If you goal is anything else, do not do the MPPA. Feel free to message me, also, your posts are better served in the government affairs forum page, not social sciences. https://forum.thegradcafe.com/forum/11-government-affairs/

What are your stats like? Funding is largely GPA based.

1. I finished the semester with three A's and an A-. the program I'm in curves grades to a B+ and most profs do not give out A+'s so these grades are a big accomplishment for me. 2. Reached out to journal in my field to write a book review for them, they said yes. 3. Just submitted my thesis proposal

Look into SSHRC Doctoral Fellowship

Didn't get the award, was ranked 4/9 and top 3 got the award in my committee (8B). Tough lose. Compétences (70) : 58,55 Intentions de recherche (30) : 22,00 Total : 80,55 % I was lucky enough to get SSHRC and OGS though. Still kinda sad about this one.

Are we notified if unsuccessful? I havent received any updates on my portal.

Dont apply to programs where you either do not meet or just meet the minimum requirements, you'll be automatically rejected or not competitive. Apply to programs where you exceed the minimum requirements. If GPA has you down take extra classes and do well to increase your GPA.

As quick as you want. Not sure how the in-person exam is done these days but good luck

Call and ask to be reconsidered

FRQSC results will be released on April 30th. http://www.frqsc.gouv.qc.ca/en/

I know multiple NPSIA and MPPA students that completed their econ pre-reqs through Athabasca

take econ through Athabasca and call Tabatha to ask the other question.

Interesting, that isnt what they told me last year when I asked. Either way, as long as you can cover tuition you are good!

They do not offer more, not do they offer TA or RAships with their funding. 10/10

I'm at Carleton and was successful in getting OGS. Notification went out beginning of March.

If you are trying to minimize costs why are you considering going to the most expensive program in one of, if not the most expensive cities in the country?

Im in the MPPA program at Carleton now and the Data Specialization is brand new. The incoming cohort will be the first to have the option to take it.

50,000 for a degree seems steep. If you want to work for government go to NPSIA. Funding is better, research opportunities are better, reputation is better, a fraction of the cost and is in Ottawa. Where the federal government is. Why do you want to go to Munk?

Going to Munk is a waste of money and time.

What is the funding package like? Curious what Carleton offers.

I attend Carleton's MPPA program and was notified about my successful OGS application last Monday. Advice: Call each program and ask

Did you get OGS, SSHRC or FRQSC?
