I am looking into graduate school programs and would like input.
My undergrad is in Business Management, though I am leaning towards an MPA; however, ASU offers a Master of Arts in Public Safety Leadership and Administration with the option of concentrating in EMS and mobile healthcare. ASU seems a little too specific.
The administrative education of the PSLA is similar to that of the MPA track. The cost per credit hour is cheaper at ASU with the potential to complete the program a little quicker, which is beneficial because my employer is paying, and I will owe them one year of service once the final class is completed; the sooner I can finish the degree the quicker I can move on from the hospital setting. In the perfect world, I would like to work for a government entity at the capacity of an administrator within an EMS organization, however, that might not happen. Would I potentially have the same opportunities regardless if it was an MPA or this MA: PSLA? Does the concentration truly make a difference?
