Carleton NPSIA vs it's Master of Public Policy and Administration (MPPA)

[Supa]

Hi! Can anybody give me some insight as to which program would be the better choice at Carleton University in Ottawa: Norman Paterson School of International Affairs versus Masters of Public Policy and Administration?

1. What is the MPPA program reputation and experiences people have had? 

2. Any differences in co-op placements? 

3. What would be the best choice for future career prospects?

I'm not completely settled on a singular career path but the prestige of having a degree from NPSIA seems to open doors, whereas an MPPA may give me more options. Any advice/insight/experience sharing would be so great right now. I've got a limited time to respond to offers. 

Thanks
