MPP/MPA- do I need work experience?

<p>I'm graduating next year with degrees in International Studies and Spanish. I'd really like to pursue a MPP/MPA but I'm reading conflicting things regarding work experience. Can I get into a program straight from undergrad, or should I work a year before applying? If work experience is necessary, where should I look for jobs?</p>

<p>It helps a lot to have a couple years of work experience.</p>

<p>What school and program are you thinking of applying to?</p>
