[Question - other] Hcare admin mid-career grad school

Hi folks, looking for some input from other administrators. I’m a mid-careerist, transitioned from consulting to hcare administration. I’m responsible for operations of a 30ish provider specialty practice in a large multi-site AMC. Have been in the role for about 5 years. In the interest of upward mobility, I’m looking at my options for masters programs. The two I’m considering are: - an MPH in Healthcare Management from a well known state school. $10-12k for the program and is CAHME accredited. The degree is not common amongst administrators but there are some. - an MHA from a regional school, about $20-22k. The school is AACSB accredited but the program is not CAHME accredited. They have a joint MHA/MBA program for twice the price that is common amongst administrators in the area. Considering I’m established in my career, is the MPH a downside if I want to stay in admin, or is it less of a concern bc I come with hc admin experience? My preference would be to go with the cheaper program but not if it will limit my options in the future. TIA
