Mid-Career MPA Virtual Information Session

Hello. Thank you for the opportunity to learn more about the program. I will leave here already my question. Regarding the curriculum, what are the options and restrictions for the choice of the course work, in particular for the HKS courses, but also regarding other schools

is your current curriculum catalog available for perusal?

If I finished bachelor from finance and Master from Navigation and studing still at Law bachelor on 3 course, I have diploma from Ukraine and working experience on shipp (from 2006) Can I apply for this program? Thank you

I’m active duty Army, and would attend HKS via Advanced Civil Schooling (ACS). Would HKS cover the gap in tuition between what the Army pays for ACS students, and the HKS tuition cost? Thank you.

Hello from Singapore! Thanks for hosting this session. What do you look for differently in Mason program applicants versus the regular MC/MPA applicants? Do GMAT/GRE scores add any value for Mason candidates or are their test scores disregarded since Mason candidates are not required to submit test scores?

Are exceptions made for the MC/MPA's GMAT or GRE requisite or is it a firm requirement?

Hi Emma and Cate, can you describe the career office and how the program helps students identify job prospects after the program?

Does working on a PhD research project in a different university at the time applying for the MC/MPA affect the prospects of being admitted (anticipated date of completion by the end of 2018?

how long should a recommendation letter typically be

coming from the private sector how to maximise chances to be accepted in the MC/MPA

What are the requirements to get financial aid?

Hello. Thanks for this session. Would it be possible to have a diferred entry if one were accepted for next year but there were strong reasons for joining the following year instead? Just to plan accordingly as one sometimes does not control all factors easily.

Does the work experience have to be related to MPA background

how does one obtain a curriculum catalog of course work for this year's class?

I don't hear anything.

Are there any on campus housing programs available for students bringing their families with them?

I can hear just fine

Audio is good.

I can hear everything

I'll reboot... I'm using Chrome.

cant hear either. Will reboot as well. Using chrome as well

To students: How specific were your post MC/MPA career aspirations in your application materials? I have a few focus areas but want to be open to what I learn/experience at the HKS. I also don't want to come across as uncertain about where I want to go....thank you.

Are there any intensive course options offered as part of the curriculum?

Very, very informative session. Thanks, team! Quick question, I read that there are graduate course requirements needed before applying. How do we check if our undergraduate courses satisfy those requirements

If i professional seafarer and works at Oil gas offshore frankly I dont have public sector experience can i apply anyway? Thank you

To students: How do the five of you plan to work with each other in the future? Have you tackled a social problem together?

Still no audio... I guess I'll just stare at the slides. :)

Awesome!

Great Marny. Thanks!

Looks like an impressive group of folks on the screen.

Are there any upcoming socials at HKS where prospective applicants can engage with the current MC/MPA cohort?

The OCA team at HKS is really doing a great job. My team has been working with them for some of our clients' executive search opportunities back in Africa. Through the HKS Resume Book, we have been able to connect a good number of HKS students to internships with employers in Africa while also connecting graduates to full time opportunities with international development organisations, private sector entities and multilateral institutions working in Africa.

Thank you for all of the useful information.

Thank you

Thank you from the Sonoran Desert.
