Deep in Enemy Territory

Saturday morning was spent in Ann Arbor for a Prospective Student Day at the University of Michigan's School of Public Health. I'm interested in their Master's of Health Services Administration (MHSA) program. My friend Bo has that degree, is actively involved in the department, and recommends it. It has also been ranked #1 by US News since 1993. (as they did not fail to mention!)

The building was beautiful... (and I must admit I've not given UM enough credit for their campus)

It was a decent experience but probably not worth the 1 1/2 hour drive. They ran out of lunches before I could eat and they never gave us a tour of the building. They also did not speak very much on the operations of healthcare systems. One of the current students shared this as a frustration of the program. The school seems to focus on the policy side of health. I'm looking to stand alone in operations. Still, it was an impressive place and the alumni network is probably the best in the nation.

I'll keep looking but could find myself here soon.
