I stand corrected lol. That suggests it'll probably be next week if not this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

publicpolicy2019 Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 Hi I have am an international student and need some advise, either from incoming Harris MPP students or students from previous batches at Harris. I am a deferred MPP from last year at Harris. Harris is giving me pretty solid financial aid (70-75% of tuition), but I also have competing offers presently from SIPA (MPA in Economic and Political Development concentration, financial aid decision to be released) and Georgetown McCourt's MIDP program (with similar financial aid as Harris). My questions: 1. I have ~4 years of work ex in international development, and would like to focus my studies on international issues. I have heard from scattered that Harris' curriculum can be a bit domestic focused. 2. I may want to stay back and work in a DC institution for a couple of years after graduating before returning to international settings/my home country, and that would involve visa sponsorship from a potential recruiter. Would you say Harris is at a disadvantage when it comes to professional opportunities and networking outside of Chicago when compared to SIPA and Georgetown, especially for international students? Has the career development office gotten better at Harris (I heard some reports from the 2015-2016 threads that that was a weak link for the school). 3. I do also have longer term interest in pursuing research, preferably in the political economy of development. For this, I believe Harris has a very strong department especially with the new faculty that have moved there and the Pearson Institute, but I am still unsure whether that compensates for the lack of international focus in the classroom. Is Harris a better pedestal into a PhD program in public policy/political econ. than the other policy schools I mentioned? 4. Does anyone know why the class size at Harris has gotten so much bigger recently and whether that has diluted the classroom experience for students? That was one of the biggest factors against SIPA in my mind, but it looks like Harris is not too far behind in terms of class size. In this regard, Georgetown MIDP has a small classroom of about 25 students focused on international development work. Overall, I'm pretty confused about what program to pick. I would love if anyone has any thoughts about any of these points, thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
