Thank you, avatarmomo!
Funding is indeed a big issue for Wisconsin, but the faculties there are extremely strong! In terms of Washington, I think it's a decent program. One impressive thing is that faculties there seem to coauthor a lot with students at Washington. I also got an offer from Duke Public Policy. The stipend provided by Duke is extremely good. I'm still trying to make a decision but it seems so hard.
Could someone tell me something about Duke Sanford Public Policy PhD programs, such as placement, courses? I'm an international student and I notice that their PhD program is pretty new. I would appreciate it if I could know their reputation and replacement in the US a little bit better.
Thanks!
