Just declined Duke Masters in Religious Studies. CUA just notified me I receive a 5 year tuition waiver and stipend of $18,000/year in the MA/PhD Early Christian Studies program. Still haven't heard from ND.
sacklunch, why would you steer clear of CUA? I was planning on rejecting Duke's offer and going to CUA if I don't hear anything from ND. Funding is not an issue for me thanks to the foresight of my grandparents.
I have been accepted to MA in Religious Studies at Duke and MA/PhD in Early Christian Studies at Catholic University of America. I am still waiting to hear from Notre Dame MA in Early Christian Studies.
Any advice on deciding between these programs? Studying at a Catholic institution is fairly important to me.
