Administrative Skills and Degrees: The "Best Place" Debate Rages On
Abstract
What should human service administration students learn? Where is the
best place for them to receive their education? Nonprofit
administrators, government agency managers, social work professors,
& public administration educators exhibit considerable agreement
regarding what should be taught but little agreement regarding which
degree is best. Thus, the widespread debate concerning the best degree
for nonprofit administrators will rage on, with most practitioners
preferring the MBA & MPA degrees at the top level & academics
believing that "their" degree is best. Despite the
disagreement, the MSW degree is perceived well at the entry &
middle levels of management. 6 Tables, 42 References. Adapted from the
source document.
