DefinitelyMaybe got a reaction from TypeA in Rank by selectivity (MPP)
So a school is weak because they don't have a thesis requirement?
I didn't apply to Ford, but I got into Indiana and they don't have a thesis requirement either.
Personally, as someone who is in the workforce now and plans to be in the workforce permanently after I finish my MPA and who has absolutely no interest whatsoever in getting a PhD, I am SO GLAD they aren't gonna waste my time with a thesis. :roll: They instead have a capstone project that you do with another group of students, and I prefer that WAY more. I purposely did not apply to schools that have thesis requirements. A thesis is completely irrelevant to my life plans post graduate school. Give me something practical I can take into the workplace, thanks.
What is a thesis going to do for me in a job interview? Absolutely nothing.
