All excellent points. If you're looking to pursue further education after your MA, BSIA might be the way to go -- to me, it seems like the profs at BSIA are much more focused on critical theory, while the curriculum at NPSIA seems to be geared towards policy practitioners. I could be wrong though. I'm probably going to stick with NPSIA because I feel it provides its students with more opportunities. Keep me posted on your decision!
Any thoughts on BSIA (+ a CIGI Fellowship) vs. NPSIA?
I rejected Munk, and accepted NPSIA, but then BSIA emailed me today w/ an offer of acceptance + a CIGI Fellowship, and that caught me off guard.
Does anyone know how to reject a TA-ship offer from NPSIA? I want to accept an RA-ship and offer of admission, but I want to reject the TA-ship. Thanks
From what I heard, you need special approval to switch streams, as each stream has a designated number of students. What stream are you in now and which are you thinking of switching to?
Just an aside, what are everyone's thoughts on graduating w/ an International Affairs MA vs. graduating w/ an International Affairs MA w/ a particular field designation? Do you anticipate either the former or the latter improving or worsening job prospects?
