Northwestern MPPA

[SherryGhazi]

Hi,

Does anyone here have any experience with the Northwestern MPPA program (online version)?

I have been working with the UN for the last 5+ years mostly in Programme/Project Management.
My goal is to transition into a policy role, not necessarily in the UN but at a more policy focused organization.

I am quite interested in it as it merges both policy and admin together - which is quite rare. The courses seem interesting and relevant with a good focus on analytical skills. Another +ve is the online option so I can continue to work. Compared to other online programs I also found this one relatively cheaper (45k USD).

Please do share any thoughts or research anyone has done on this program and do recommend any similar online programs.

Based on the forums I have seen there are mixed reviews on whether the fact that its a Professional school program makes is less valuable. I am still not sure if this is a personal preference or an actual issue with 'professional schools'.

Hi, I attended this program and loved it! You likely don’t still want answers since this was a year ago, but if you do, happy to help
