Right. I appreciate the advice! Unfortunately both cost and location are restricting factors for me which is why UIC seems to be the most ideal option for me.
The MPP program at UIC is like one year old, so I could understand that being a reason why they wouldn't have an abundance of data because no one has graduated from the traditional 2 year tract yet. I don't plan on doing anything accelerated.
UIC isn't the greatest school, but it is a legitimate state school to my knowledge.
Hey, I just got admitted to the UIC MPP program. Did you end up attending? If you did and could tell me about your experience, that would be incredibly helpful.
