Is USC MLA + MUP Dual Degree Program worth it?

I have recently been accepted to USC's MLA + MUP dual degree program, and I am struggling with the cost of education and taking three years off of work at this point in my life. I am in my mid 30s and really can't afford to misstep and end up having a $200k+ student debt. Does anyone have direct/indirect experiences with the MLA and/or MUP program at USC and wiling to share your experience I would really appreciate some suggestions! I am interested to know: Is the program considered strong/good in the MLA circle in California? Your job placement experience post graduation or day-to-day at work?
