MPH v MS

I was accepted to the MPH (Environmental Health) programs at Columbia and Yale and the SM program at Harvard. Does anyone know if it is more difficult to get a job with an MS degree than an MPH? I am not interested in going into research or academia and probably want to go into the private sector. Where would you go?

That is uncanny. I got accepted to all 3 programs in the Environmental Health department too. Also got full tuition and a stipend from NYU's Environmental Health Sciences MS program. I would like to know this as well, but will probably ask during their admitted students day.

Take the $$ at NYU, and Harvard prestige, assuming same cost.

Employers won't notice a difference between degrees.

AwkwardTurtles, are you just getting out of undergrad or have you been out for awhile?

I'm just getting out of undergrad now.

Does anyone have any more thoughts? I have no idea how I am going to decide between Yale (mph), Columbia (mph) and Harvard (sm).

Obviously the MPH is superior...more letters. The goal is to make one's professional title as long as possible right?
