Message: [QUOTE="OttoMets, post: 2887587, member: 716"] No it isn't. It's one of the best degrees of [U]its[/U] kind. But there are dozens of degrees from hundreds of schools that are "better" from the perspective of criteria like intellectual rigor or career prospects. I mean, damn, right at Syracuse University I'd much rather have an MPA from Maxwell or an architecture or engineering degree, and it'd be easy to make an argument that somebody could do better at the iSchool than at Newhouse as well. As for Vanderbilt, it's a selective private university with better metrics than Syracuse. They've got plenty of excellent degree programs. And none of that is any of my business -- or yours -- as it relates to Matt Moyer or any of the kids at any of those schools. But it's wrong to say that he made a bad decision from an academic standpoint. [/QUOTE]
