Georgetown, George Washington, or American for MPP?
I've been accepted to Georgetown, George Washington, and American for their MPP programs and am trying to figure out which school is the best fit for what I want to do. My focus is in Technology and Environmental Policy/Regulation, but I'm also looking for strong quantitative coursework. I ideally want to work for federal/state government or do consulting. If anyone has made a similar decision and has similar goals I'd appreciate any advice.
Total Program Costs (before fees):
Georgetown - $95,000
George Washington - $65,000
American - $55,000. Also offered a $12,000 total Graduate Assistantship that could be a research position.
For American and maybe GW I could probably do it debt free. I don't think Georgetown is worth it since it's way more expensive than the others and I would take on debt so the ROI doesn't seem worth it.
