美國公共管理碩士MPA和公共政策碩士MPP有什么區(qū)別?

 我們看看世界第一牛校哈佛大學(xué)肯尼迪政府學(xué)院的MPA和MPP項目區(qū)別,如下是官網(wǎng)提供的項目介紹:
Master in Public Administration, MPA
The two-year Master in Public Administration (MPA2) is a flexible program designed to enhance the knowledge and skills of established professionals and dual-degree students seeking further leadership responsibilities in the public, nonprofit, and private sectors.
Prospective students interested in the MPA2 program are encouraged to review the prerequisites for academic and work experience prior to applying.
Students admitted to the MPA2 are invited, in consultation with their advisors, to design an individual 16-course plan of study, constrained only by the requirement to fulfill distribution requirements in the three Harvard Kennedy School foundational methodological areas: analytics, management, and leadership, as well as a two-course Policy Areas of Concentration.
Master in Public Policy, MPP
The two-year Master in Public Policy (MPP) program provides future public leaders with the conceptual framework and practical skills necessary to succeed in public service.
The MPP core requirements are built upon strong foundations in three methodological areas: analysis, management, and leadership. These requirements are designed to help students solve complicated and unfamiliar challenges — by asking the right questions, determining the nature and dimensions of the problem at hand, exploring the range of possible solutions, and assessing the capacity of public institutions to implement one or more of these solutions.
Through the MPP core, students sharpen their powers of analysis and their knowledge base. They build the confidence and judgment needed to weigh competing demands and choose the most appropriate action. They become skilled at shaping effective and practical solutions and building consensus and ownership in support of those solutions. They learn to marshal resources within and outside of an organization, monitor and fine tune innovative policy solutions, and provide the transformational leadership that generates success.
通過上述簡明扼要的介紹,我覺得兩者的區(qū)別就很明顯了:由于哈佛肯尼迪的傳統(tǒng),培養(yǎng)目標是一致的,analytics, management, and leadership。從課程計劃的角度來講,MPA更靈活(flexible),而MPP的課程計劃要嚴謹一些。從招生群體來說,MPA面向的是有成就的專業(yè)人士與雙學(xué)位高材生(established professionals and dual-degree students),而MPP的招生群體則廣泛得多。
