Anyone know if Northwestern's full-time master is harder to get into than the part-time program?

Thank for the information.

To Mwfan, I currently am budgeting a maximum of 2 years for my graduate studies. So either I go with the 1-year full-time program (so I can get my degree and onto the job hunt sooner than later), or if I opts for the part-time, I’d like to get it done within 8 quarters (2 years). Would not being NASPAA-accredited mean I’d have a harder time getting work out of school, even with the NU name on the diploma?

What type of job do you want to get, and how would any MPP/MPA program help you attain that job?

Again, this is NU SPS…which is not the same as NU’s graduate programs. SPS accepts basically anyone with a bachelor’s degree. I don’t know the outcomes, but it is something you have to figure out by speaking with the SPS people. Also ask if SPS students can utilize NU’s career center and services.
