Hey,
Can you please let me know about which course out of MPP and MPA/ID has more and great employment opportunities? Also is it mandatory to have a degree in economics to apply for MPA/ID at HKS?

[@TheArtofApplying]

Hey there Jadhav! Your employment opportunities after an HKS degree are going to depend on the strength of your work experience BEFORE going to school, your summer internship while at HKS, your coursework while at HKS, as well as how effectively you recruit for full-time positions. There is no guarantee that studying a certain degree will give you better employment opportunities.
That said, the MPA/ID is much more competitive to get into than the MPP at HKS. You don't have to major in Economics to get into the HKS MPA/ID. However, you do need to have a relatively strong Economics and Quantitative background to be competitive and prepared for the MPA/ID. Visit the HKS admissions website for the exact requirements.

Is it necessary to be working in the government or non profit to apply to the MPA program

[@TheArtofApplying]

Hi Andrea, thanks for your question. No, you do not have to be working in government or nonprofit to successfully apply to the MPA program at Harvard Kennedy School.
Many successful applicants to Harvard Kennedy School (including our many clients we help successfully apply to HKS every year) work in the private sector. Your work experience can be in any industry. You need to show a demonstrated commitment to advancing the public good, whether that is in your full-time job, volunteer work, and/or community service.
If you're interested in exploring working with our team on your applications, I invite you to book a Quick Call with our team at the link in the description of this video. We'd love to chat with you and help you get clear if you are competitive for Harvard Kennedy School and your other target schools!
