Sure PM me. By the way, that information is untrue. IEP grads themselves told me that they are actually NOT equipped for those jobs. Now alumni from Kennedy, yes they are. From what I understand Harvard name might get you an interview- but you don't have the skills for the job, you won't get it-simple as that (one in policy and for a job such as the World Bank- you might try and focus your 9 month schedule in such a way to better prepare you, but then you would not have any room for "education" electives. Also, career services explained those that even want a chance at getting a job overseas (anywhere) need to do an internship which is something you'd do after you graduate and thus many you are no longer qualified for many because you are no longer a "current graduate student" and you are no longer enrolled so your loans can't help sustain you. Penn on the other hand does an excellent job of placing you in overseas agencies to get you that experience. Also, Penn there is about 30 in the cohort...HGSE there is about 60-70- and according to the open house meeting none from last year are working at World Bank or larger named agencies- at least that she could think of. I feel the ones that want strong policy and are able to visit (thus see past the "name" part because obvioulsy that is something I thought over) tend to go to other programs. I can tell you those that came from the open house at Penn said how much better their program and open house was. Find the group on facebook and ask them. But remember a name is a name...and I had a current HGSE IEP student tell me "Yes I don't have many of the skills I will need for jobs, I am just hoping the name will do it for me." Coming from a school of education, it is not what we should be encouraging. If you have more specific questions, please PM me.
Also, I'd say if you want a job at say World Bank look it up online and see the qualfications and skills needed- match that up to HGSE and Penn's programs.
But I will say for those who know they don't want to do policy and just want a masters finished quickly and to just to work with international students locally or teach (and doesnt come in with much experience) perhaps this is the program for you.
