Hey everyone! I'm new to the forum and looking for some advice. So far I've been accepted to BSIA's Global Governance program with full funding and a fellowship at CIGI, UVic's MPA with at least $15,000 in funding (maybe more), and SFU's MPP program with $10,000 in funding. I'm hoping to hear back from U of T's MPP program shortly. I also submitted a late application to NPSIA a few days after the deadline, so I may still get accepted but I highly doubt I would receive any funding.
I have a strong interest in foreign policy but I have no desire to become an academic. I'm looking for a degree that will give me the best possible chance at finding a solid job in government, an NGO, or the private sector.
Of these five programs, which would you recommend?? I know that NPSIA is typically seen as the best choice, but BSIA's offer of a research fellowship with CIGI plus an internship seems pretty strong in terms of professional development opportunities.
Thoughts??
