Hey everyone,
I was admitted to SPEA MSES, with the intent to study applied ecology and wildlife conservation. While I know the MPA program to be highly regarded, I don't actually know too much about the MSES department's reputation itself. Is this degree valued without the MPA component? Not that selectivity is the best metric, but I can't seem to find that information either. Does anyone know how many students are admitted to MSES and how many apply?
I've also considered adding on the MPA once enrolled, so does anyone have experience with/info about adding the MPA mid-program?
Thanks very much!
