I forgot to mention that I have an MBA from USC (the executive format offered jointly with a Chinese univerity) and not sure if an MPA would add much to my academic credentials considering that I already have a masters. In this case, would a masters from a great school like Harvard be higher regarded than a doctorate from a good school like Columbia?

Master of Public Administration from Harvard Kennedy School or Doctor of Education (Leadership, Policy and Politics) from Columbia's Teachers College

I'm an international student from China with an interest in public policy. While I have no intention of entering academia, I want to eventually pursue a career as consultant or policy advisor. Harvard Kennedy School is better known than Teachers College (at least in China) but I'm not sure if a masters (MPA) is as well regarded as a Doctor of Education (EdD). Any advice is appreciated.
