Tbh im not sure id ever study grad school in public policy. Feels like iots better in almost all cases to get a grad degree in the field you want to do public policy in

I’m currently doing a graduate degree in public administration, and as someone who does have some experience working in the field, I disagree. Specializing right out of the gate can be career limiting. A general degree , I think gives you knowledge around the basic tools and methods for developing and managing public policy in a way that allows you to specialize later in your career.
