Hi All, I got accepted to all three. Below I listed them with information that I consider necessary and important. Financial aid is of paramount condition for me in choosing as well... 1. Brock University Program: MA in Comparative East & West Philosophy. Scholarship/Financial Aid: Full-Tuition through graduate fellowship and assistantship. Stipends: None. Location: St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada. Pros: The only program in the country that offers extensive east and west philosophy courses. Cons: No stipends. 2. Texas Tech University Program: MA in Philosophy Specializations: Analytic philosophy. Financial Aid: After waivers, approximately out-of-pocket $2,400 per academic year. Stipends: $1,444/month for 9 months, through graduate teaching assistantship. Location: Lubbock, Texas. Pros: One of the top 11 philosophy master's programs in the country according to the philosophical gourmet (which is mainly only for analytical schools); great PhD placement records; stipends available; graduate teaching experience. Cons: The location seems like in the middle of nowhere, although it is a college town and hometown of Buddy Holly. 3. The New School for Social Research Program: MA in Philosophy Program Specializations: Continental philosophy, Critical Theory. Financial Aid: 40% off tuition scholarship. Approximate out-of-pocket tuition (60%) = $18,180 per year. Stipends: None. Location: New York City. Pro: Quite unconventional courses; Richard Bernstein is there; strong critical theory. Cons: Expensive tuition even after the scholarship. Thanks for your help guys!
