torn between MPP and MPA

[talons1025]

I like the idea behind both degrees and I like the fact that they both have a lot of emphasis on finance and economics.  The MPP, being more focused on policy and its implementation, is more tempting to me over the MPA and its management courses.  I really am more in favour of the MPP over the MPA, but I just worry that the MPA is 'more valuable' since that is all i ever hear about.  I read that the MPA is a great degree to have, but never anything on the MPP.  Is an MPA technically more hireable than someone with an MPP?

Most schools only offer one of the two for a reason, because they are just two names that usually refer to the same thing, I would say that Princeton's MPA is more econ based than Harvard's MPP, while GT's MPP is more econ based than Syracuse's MPA, then a few other schools use other names, I myself am in a program called MPAff where it can be as admin or policy based as you want as it is pretty free. I would therefore recommend to look at the courses and not the name!
