Hey all,
I would love to get your opinions about which institution you would recommend for pursuing a MA in Security Studies. All are great schools, but one of my main concerns is the cost of attendance. Without any funding offered from any of these institutions, I am trying to decide what my best option is. I would just accept at Georgetown as they are ranked number one, but I am not sure if it is worth it to get my MA from Georgetown if I am going to be going at least $100,000 in debt. I could go to GW or American, both similarly ranked, work during the day, take classes at night, and save a lot of money. Therefore I am thinking that GW or American may be the better option.
So major question is: Is it worth the immense debt I would take on to go to Georgetown or would attending GW or American be better financially as I would be getting a degree from an institution ranked in the top 10 regardless?
