Anyone planning to apply to NYU Wanger for the MPA degree with a concentration in health services management or health finance? Or any current students?

What are your thoughts of this program?

I was admitted this last cycle to the Health Services Management concentration and I have a contact who will be a 2nd year student in the Health Finance concentration. PM me for more info.*

The programs looks very good to me. It's very unique in that it's an MPA as opposed to an MPH or MHA. But from what I can tell, it's comparable to such degrees. It's one of my top 5 choices along with JHU, Columbia, Yale, and UMich.

Another great program is at Heinze College in the School of Public Policy & Management at Carnegie Mellon University.

It is not CAHME accredited, but neither is Harvard's program, and the curriculum and various tracks look very appealing, similar to NYU's program.

Had I discovered it earlier I would've applied.

yeah, it looks attractive but it seems like students end up in consulting, which i have no interest in. i would like to end up working in a hospital as an administrator

The Wagner or Heinze program? Either way, thats not a bad thing because it means consulting firms (which are all about name brand and prestige) recruit there, which means the program carries weight when it comes to career opportunities, IMHO.
