Masters in Nonprofit management?

Masters in Public Administration?

Masters in Public Health/Behavioral Sciences?

Anyone know what type of positions these last 2 would attract? Thanks

Master's in public health/behavioral science- depends on how much the program is focused on hardcore research or not. Not-research concentration could land you in state mental health system management. It also depends on whether you have clinical experience on some level or anything relevant besides the degree.
Case manager in any system (public or private/HMO) that is the gatekeeper for hospital stays and admissions. Insurance companies (health-related).
A friend of mine got an MBA with a concentration of "non-profit business." She's always had interesting jobs- with the city hospitals, the city transport system, the state labor board.

What do you want to do with this degree? Are you already working in this field?
New England College has an online program, however I am not sure if the program leads to a job.
I think that most of these programs work best if you are already employed in this field.
If you are not, I would suggest that you investigate MSW programs.

I'm curious about the Public Administration one myself. I always see it talked about in relation to social services but it's got to be good for something else? Like in government (other than social services)?
