I'm actually looking into the MPA program at UofO with a concentration in nonprofit management!
I cant really answer any of your questions, but its cool to see someone else on here interested in the same school and a similar program
I'm committed to policy work in the intersections of food systems/production agriculture/trade, which seems to be a pretty rare focus for higher-caliber schools. I'll be graduating with an BS in May, and threw in some MPP programs when applying for grad school. I have fully funded/stipend offers from MS Ag Econ programs with some narrow policy exposure, but was thrown a complete curveball when I also received offers from the two policy schools I applied to, Duke Sanford and Georgetown McCourt. I'm fairly new to the whole MPA/MPP world and was heavily counting on in-person engagement to gauge the fit and utility of each program.
The cancelling of school visits has greatly exacerbated my stress and confusion about making a decision. To people that are in similar situations (or have been through the decision process already), are there any recommendations you have for additional ways to gain information or make a decision about a school besides the predictable contacting students/LinkedIn-stalking if I'm not able to visit in person? I'd gratefully welcome any and all advice!
