Maxwell vs GPSIA vs LBJ

[BritishAndConfused]

I'm an international student, with interests in working in International Economic Public Policy and Development, but I have no idea about which of these schools would be the most beneficial for working after.

I've got a place on the MAIR/Econ dual masters at Maxwell Syracuse, a masters in International Development at GPSIA Pittsburgh and the MGPS at LBJ Texas.

I was wondering if anyone could give me any ideas on how to choose between them. Money isn't an issue, city lifestyle is, but the most important factor for me is career prospects!

I've left this decision a bit late as putting it off seemed easier at the time but I can't really pick between them. Maxwell has great internship opportunities and a dual masters, so I'm more inclined to pick that one but I'm not sure how well Syracuse is perceived in comparison with Texas or Pittsburgh.

Any help would be fantastic!

Thanks.

For what its worth i dont think you could go wrong with any of those programs (all top notch). I just sent in my confirmation to attend LBJ. The education ranks up with the best, it is affordable, and Austin Texas is an amazing place to live.

As far as the MGPS program goes, it is fairly exclusive and given the international direction that the new dean wants to go, the program is just going to get better and better.

Good Luck!
