Hey folks! Like many of you I've heard back from schools and am struggling to make a decision by Apr 15. Considerations include Mich SEAS (EJ track), ASU SoS, Penn MES, CU Boulder MENV, New School Env. Policy & Sustainability Management, American SIS (International Affairs/Natural Resources & Sustainable Development), and Oxford NSEG.
If any of you has considered or decided between any of these schools and has any insights, I'd love to chat! Also happy to help bounce ideas around as we make our decisions.
I'm beginning to lean towards SEAS, SIS, and Oxford, but each will send me in a different direction career-wise--SEAS is very susty/justice oriented, SIS is more UN, international environmental/development work, and unlike the other two, Oxford is research-based so would be good if I go on to get a PhD.
I guess one big question I have is about the usefulness of UK graduate degrees in terms of getting jobs in the states. SIS and SEAS have strong career services, alum networks, and overall US job outcomes. One of my hesitancies with Oxford is that it wouldn't set me up the same to get a good environmental job state-side. Does anyone have experience with or thoughts about this?
