One of my life goals is to earn a Ph.D. in public policy and\/or theology.  NYU&#8217;s Wagner school is a very good public policy school.  I love NYU; I&#8217;m an alum of the NYU Law School (LL.M. 1999).  The Wagner School has a part-time Ph.D. program, which would suit me very well since I teach just uptown at CUNY.  However, I inquired of some of the Wagner faculty last fall about the Ph.D. program, and it appeared that my background and research focus isn&#8217;t specific enough to gain a slot in that program.  So, one possible plan is to work on a Master&#8217;s in Public Policy at Wagner, get to know some the faculty, and then try to transfer into the Ph.D.  Problem is, Wagner is very expensive.  I figured I&#8217;d apply and see if I qualified for any scholarships.<\/p>\n<p>Well, yesterday my wife fielded a call from the Assistant Dean for Admissions and Enrollment at Wagner, with a message that I should call back.  Unfortunately, I keep getting voice mail.  I&#8217;m almost certain that a call like this means I&#8217;ve qualified for some significant scholarship money.  Of course, it could be something much more mundane &#8212; maybe they lost my essay, or want to invite me to an open house, or some other dumb thing.  But I think they&#8217;d just do that by email.  So &#8212; tune in tomorrow afternoon, and we&#8217;ll see!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This year I applied to the Wagner School of Public Service at New York University.
