Hi everyone! I've been following this thread for a while, and I'm just wondering if anyone can give me some advice here?
I've been admitted to the MA art history for both NYU-IFA and CUNY Hunter. Personally I am a bit prone to Hunter (cheaper, only MAs, good reputation too) but meanwhile I'm not so sure if I'm making the right choice.. I don't have a bachelor degree in art history, and I'm not 100% sure if I will pursue a PhD or not in the future (probably will work for some time first) so my advisor suggested that I start with the MA. Actually, I've checked all the discussions regarding the same dilemma and learned a lot from everyone's sharing. It seems like Hunter would be a better choice than IFA since it's not so "cashcow" and without the competition of PhD students. Just wondering is anyone (or know someone) currently studying at IFA or Hunter who can share some experiences or ideas about the MA program? How's the job placement of both programs' graduates? What about those who continue on a PhD degree (good PhD placement or not)?
Any suggestions or ideas are welcomed. Thank you!
