MPA CBE besides Hodges - yb1 - 01-02-2018
I would like to do a CBE MPA but I hate the name Hodges.
I really do.
That being said I might be doing it unless I can find an alternative program.
I also don't like how I haven't met many if any online who has done the Hodges MPA program.
I think the end result will be good. It will be beneficial.
I want to apply this week for next month.
Get it over with. 2018 goal started.

What's wrong with the name? It sounds like a typical European last name one would find in the U.S.

I like the name.
I don't think there are other MPA programs

There are Ivy League School Names (Jr got accepted into XXXX = Wow! Graduated from XXXX= Impressive!)
Top Sport School Names (Did you catch any games?= Nice! Where you there when XXX was there? Sweet!)
State Power School Names (Ohio vs Michigan = Fun! UCLA vs USC=Once was fun
Then there are just a bunch of names, some we know for good reasons and some for bad reasons (quality of coursework, degree options, cost/high/low). The only schools that I would classify as having a bad name would be schools that are hard to say - if someone asks 'what school' after every time you share the name, this might be a bad name and all schools with bad reputations would definitely be a bad name.
Hodges University's name fits in that classic no negative/positive impact space with the majority of other school names.

At least you're not hearing horror stories.

An example of a bad name is University of the People. Some of it has to do with the anti-communism sentiment in the U.S., but a lot of it has to do with it not sounding like a real school. Real person and geographic names are usually safe choices, but a lot of diploma mills like to use international, global, American, national, and Columbia.

I like something like "Hodges" much more than I like something like "Excelsior"

Haha, speaking of bad names, the one that came up was University of Maryland University College.
Is it a U or a C? Make up your mind already! Hodges doesn't sound catchy or anything but not bad.

They definitely have an odd one - interesting enough, I have always felt their acronym UMUC rolled off smooth. Just need to keep your fingers crossed no one asks what school that is
