[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a KSG grad, albeit from the last century. I agree that graduating is no guarantee of brilliance. Still, I think most MPP grads are good, and some are great, and students who are interested can learn a lot.

Also, there's a difference between the 2 year MPP and one year midcareer MPA (often sent by foreign governments).  MPP academic standards for admission were much tougher.

Finally, although courses were easier than in the academic PhD programs (like econ and poli sci), I heard MBA courses were the easiest.[/quote]

Another KSG grad here, also from the 1990s.  Well said.

Anyway, I entered the Kennedy School as a non-profit do-gooder.  I emerged and joined the State Department, where I still work.

At the State Department I write memos on a near daily basis.  I learned that skill at the Kennedy School.

Interesting. When I think of grad school, I envision something so much more lofty than how to write a memo![/quote]
Not either PP, but I think maybe you don't understand the purpose of master's degrees, then.[/quote]
