Hi everybody,
I know there's been a lot of talk about the top schools (SIPA, Maxwell, Harris, etc,) but I was wondering if anybody could comment on MPP / MPA programs at some of the lesser known programs at reputable schools.
I was curious to see if these programs are well-regarded in the public policy world, especially in regards to salary and employment prospects.
Northwestern's public policy and administration program is through their School of Continuing Studies. I'm wondering if that hampers the degree's reputation or job prospects, although NU says on their Website the rigor and quality is the same.
Is there anybody here who has applied, enrolled or is an alumnus of the program?
Or would it just be better off to apply to the more established MPP institutions?
Thanks!
