Hi everyone~ I have received MPA admission from University of Washington-Seattle Evans School and is wondering how is this school recongized in this field. The MPA program of Evans school is ranked 26th in USNews Public Affairs; I don't know if this is good enough if I want to pursue a PHD in the future. I also got other offers from Syracuse, USC, and UPitt, but I like the city and the curriculum UW provide. So if anyone can give me some input of the Evans school, I'll really appreciate it. Thanks in advance! :wink:

Hi everyone, I have followed this thread for a long time and it really broaden my view in how to choose between schools. Recently I got the offer from Univ. of Washington. It is a great school and a wonderful city; however, I do not know how this school is recognized in the area of pubic affairs. I also received the admission from Syracuse, but the MPA program offered in Syracuse is only 12 month long. Since my bachelor degree is not policy related major, I plan to take more courses to study in this area. Can anyone share any information about MPA program in UW? Thanks a lot!

Thanks for sharing these helpful information! I have received Syracuse's MPA admission which is very attractive to me b/c it ranked #1 in this area. However, I would like to gather more information before final desicison. Can you tell us why you have chosen UGA over Syracuse other than financial reasons?
