MBA -> MPP?

[disgruntledinfantryofficer]

Hi group,

 

I am matriculating into a Top-10 MBA program (Duke, Columbia, Dartmouth) this fall and I have interest in also obtaining an MPP at some point. I did not apply to any MPP programs commencing this fall (I applied to only 1 MBA program as it is), however I am interested in applying during my 2Y. 

 

Has anyone done this before? Would I still be required to take the GRE? Would I be able to complete an abridged curriculum similar to the dual-degree students?

 

I know these are questions that will vary from institution to institution, but I wanted to see if anyone here had first-hand experience prior to asking the programs directly.

 

In addition to the usual suspects (HKS/WWS(MPA)), I am also interested in Cambridge and Oxford's one-year MPP. Does anyone have experience with either of these? 

 

Thanks in advance!

 All three schools you mentioned - Duke, Columbia, Dartmouth- have dual MBA/MPA (or MPP or MIA) programs; Dartmouth has MBA/MALD (Fletcher) and MBA/MPA (HKS). Dual MBA/MPP programs are very common (you apply during your first year and complete both programs in a total of 3 years).
