Thanks ARE' and akmandal. This gives me even more confidence in UNCG. However it is still tough though because it seems with programs at this level getting employment near the school (relatively speaking) after graduation is more necessary. Anyone have any thoughts on UC-Denver or Northeastern?

I'm in at UC-Denver as well as UNCG ($), while still waiting to hear back from Northeastern. After getting my MA I'd like to work in the public or private sector in labor, health economics or consulting (i.e. - Dept of Labor, Abt Associates or RTI to name a few). Is there a discernible difference between these 3 schools? UC-Denver seems to place marginally better than UNCG and Northeastern, while Northeastern may have a slight brand advantage. However, UNCG seems to be the most generous when it comes to funding. I'm leaning heavily towards UNCG, but wanted to get some other opinions before making my final decision.
