Academic future after an MPA?

Graduate School
1

<p>Just wondering what the academic options would be after one does an MPA…to actually use those credits earned for a continuing degree? </p>

<p>I was thinking definitely a PhD in Political Science focusing on public administration…but not sure… </p>

<p>Possibly Law… </p>

<p>Thoughts? I know it is a terminal degree… but if one were to go back for more education afterwards, what are their options from a practitioners useful perspective?</p>

<p>Thanks for the posts, I’m wondering how much the MPA/MPP are interchangeable to an extent if you went from the Masters in that, to the Public Policy PhD instead of lets say, Public Admin… I guess it would behoove me to take a broad array of classes in the MPA.</p>
