The professors are very good. They hold a high standard and help the student achieve that same standard.
One situation that I personally experienced was the redirection that two professors provided. I was originally completing an MMPA. The professors had the foresight to see that a newly created MBA program was better suited for me. They helped me through the tough decision as well as the transition process.
The teaching is solid, the curriculum not relevant. At least not for me.
Many people fail to realize that "public administration" involves more than "serving the public". The fact of the matter is, working within or leading any organization requires knowledge and experience with managing people, leading people, negotiating with people, and running a business.
Regardless of legal structure, every organization that exists must be ran as a business. It must become self-sustaining.
This degree unfortunately places too much emphasis on affecting change through policy than it does on leading an organization.
An organization simply won't exist long enough in order to change policy if the organization is not lead and managed well.
