ADoes UC even offer an MPA degree? Their grad programs are usually only PhD graduate programs.

AIt may not be equivalent to a US masters degree. She would have to contact a school and get her courses and degree assessed. Many times an MA in the PI is the equivalent of a BA plus a few credits here. You just have to send the grades (is she applying for school, or to teach?) and see what happens. You don't "convert" a degree.

AA school that does not require any sort of entrance exam for a Masters degree doesn't seem like it could be that good. What are you afraid of taking the exam for? How am I to believe Murray State is a very underrated school if their own graduates are running away from a simple exam, looking to get away from it in any way they can.Is that what they teach at Murray? Take the easy way out and never go for a challenge?

ADon't use that link- use something like salary.com or payscale.com or even the wall street journal those can give out interesting information on lots of degree programs, possible jobs, how much the rate of return is, etc. Hope it helps!

AYou do not need to be a law student. You do need a degree in criminology. There are relatively few jobs available in criminology. Working in criminology has nothing to do with studying for a law degree.

AIt depends on whether you are interested in a public service career or a business career. The math issue is not relevant. MBA programs are not highly quantitative. MBA programs accept students in any undergraduate field. They prefer students who do not have a business background because they give you the business training but they cannot provide the broad background that managers should have. I have taught MBA students with degrees in Music, Medicine, Dentistry, Law, Psychology, Political Science, Chemistry, Biology, Engineering, and many other fields. Most MBA programs prefer students with 2-3 years work experience after the first degree. Military duty counts as work experience. Before you decide on an MBA program explore the Internet for information on available programs. There is a lot of information available in free public service sites. Some sites are limited to specific countries, such as Germany, UK, or Australia. Some list a small number of select schools, while others may include more than 2,000 MBA programs listed worldwide. You can find the program that best fits you. You can search for programs by location (US, Europe, Far East, etc.), by concentration (finance, marketing, aviation management, health management, accounting, etc.), by type of program (full-time, distance learning, part-time, executive, and accelerated), and by type of degree (MBA, MS, Ph.D). In some cases you can select your own criteria and preferences to get a list of universities that satisfy your needs.You can find data on entrance requirements, program costs, program characteristics, joint degrees such as MBA/JD, and much more. Some sites have links to the schools' web sites, or provide email addresses to contact schools of your choice, and send them pre-applications. You can find lists of top schools ranked by various periodicals or ranked by starting salaries of graduates, GMAT scores, and other criteria. Generally you should stay away from any sites that require you to pay to get information or that promise to find scholarships for you or ensure acceptance into a program. Before you provide any personal information to a site, be sure to read their privacy policy and make sure they are not harvesting email addresses for sale.

ALocal or national government, municipal office, law enforcement, or even politics (but you wouldn't qualify for politics if you did all of your own work on your master degree!).

AYeah, that's good experience for entry into that sort of program. By definition, we teachers are civil servants as well.

AHere's a link I found that offer a few schools for your MPA program. I hope this helpshttp://www.docstoc.com/docs/832407/Listing-of-Emergency-Management-Collegiate-Programs-by-Type
