[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No MPH here but I have 2 cousins that are getting it. From the sponses here, a MPH sounds like an MBA lite non-technical. Only usefull if your current job will allow you to move up with it or if you get it from somewhere prestigous.[/quote] Some "tracks" or concentrations within MPH programs are extremely technical - Epidemiology and Bio/statistics for example. Folks in these tracks graduate with very applicable technical skills such as in research methods and analysis software. Surely some MBA concentrations are similarly technical (Finance maybe?)? With a broad, multi-disciplinary degree it always comes down the major/track/concentration/focus. While I wouldn't argue that an MPH in Sexual and Reproductive Health is as marketable as one in Biostatistics, I would argue that it is more valuable to [b]most [/b] (not all) public health agencies and organizations than not having one at all.[/quote]
