Insider Insights is the best resource for prospective students. It's insider info in a way that makes sense. We'll unpack a lot of big words and complex areas of study and give you answers to questions you might be asking yourself. Questions like, "what kind of job will I get after I graduate?" and "what is the difference between an MPA and MPIA degree?" Check back often and throughout the application process.
