Best MPA/MIA or other programs for international work?

Graduate School
1

<p>Anyone know which MPA or MIA (or other) programs provide the best training for an international NGO/Non-profit Management track?</p>

<p>I have taken a look at some of the prestigious programs and have gotten mixed reviews, especially about Harvard Kennedy School, since Ban Ki-Moon, Felipe Calderon, and Liberian President, Ellen Johnson, amongst others all have Harvard MPA's. But then I read that it was absolutely awful and that an MPA degree is something of a joke and really not practical either for employability or functionality, preparing one for work in the field.</p>

<p>I am trying to decide if I should pursue a very prestigious school versus possibly more practical and internationally focused schools, such as SIT Graduate Institute (MSM program) and the Monterey Institute, MPA program. I cannot even find rankings for SIT however!</p>

<p>I really want to know what programs and schools are best for an international, practical degree.</p>

<p>Any ideas? Thanks a lot!</p>
