MPA in inspection and oversight or MPA with an environmental concentration?
Hi, i’m planning to attend grad school with the hopes of entering the environment policy field. The college in where i go to for undergrad had two MPA programs (inspection/oversight or public policy) but no environmental concentration. I would like to continue at the same school but i’m torn if getting an MPA with a concentration on something else + getting experience in the environmental field (internships, etc) would be enough to help me in the future. (some ppl say it’s not the degree but the experience but idk) or if getting that concentration would be better
i fear that if i put too much focus on just one area it may limit my job prospects especially with the current administration since it seems like jobs in environmental policy are declining. i do think about perusing environmental law in the future.
