Brown MPA - Professional Program

[cafe2011]

I was just accepted to Brown's one-year MPA program but don't know a ton about Providence or specifics about how this program stacks up with others. Does anyone have additional insight into the program in regards to how it compares to traditional two-year MPA programs? I didn't get funding, so I'm trying to decide if a degree from Brown would warrant going ahead with it. I've still got some other applications out and one other acceptance to the John Glenn School at OSU. Technically this is a "mid-career" program but I'm only about 5 years out of undergrad. Does that seem like a problem to anyone who has experience with this particular program? Thanks for any insights you have!!
