MPH in Biometry at SDSU or MPH in Biostatistics at UC Berkeley?

[confusedca]

Hi All,

 

I have been admitted into both programs but do not know what to choose.  My main concern is being able to find employment in either Biotech or Government work (DoD) once I graduate. I will have 9+ publications to my name by then (both in the biomedical and biostats fields). SDSU is cheaper in terms of living costs (savings of ~24K per year) but Berkeley has a better reputation. Given that I will have multiple publications, mostly in the biomedical not the biostats field, is it better to go to Berkeley? Does anyone know if SDSU or Berkeley is more connected industry wise?

 

Thank you for your help and input!
