Stanford vs. Harvard

[bklynteacher]

Any thoughts on the differences between the Stanford POLS MA and the Harvard EPM Ed.M. ?

I got into both last week (!) and now have some unexpected choices to make. Which would you choose?

Hi there. I'm facing a similar predicament, tough life huh? anyway, I don't know how comparable they are, but I get the sense that Harvard's IEP program is more practitioner directed and Stanford's IEAPA program is more research focused, particularly as evidenced by the monograph. I having difficulty getting a sense of other differences, including reputation/esteem in the specific professional sub-specializations. Anyone else have potentially helpful thoughts?
