I'm relocating from Seattle to DC to study health policy and have been accepted to both the MPA and MPH (public health) programs at GWU. The MPH program is appealing because it has a specific health policy concentration, however a friend of mine who works in DC says she knows of no MPHers working in health policy. Can anyone offer an opinion about an MPA vs an MPH for health policy work? I will be staying in DC after I graduate. Thank you!
