MA in International Human Rights at Josef Korbel vs MA in Global Studies at UCSB

Is it wise to choose the MA in International Human Rights at Korbel with 75% tuition funding? I would still have to pay another 20k USD in tuition and would be on a tight RA-ship stipend for living costs. Great coursework, great research opportunities, International internship component, plus work in mass atrocity prevention which is what I want. 
 

Other option is to take the fully funded MA in global studies at UCSB which is a little general and interdisciplinary and I may have limited research opportunities in atrocity prevention. I don't love the coursework, but it is decently comparable. I am not aware of related research opportunities.
 

I am very confused and don’t want to make the wrong choice. I am definitely taking weather, funding, coursework and research opportunities into account. My partner is planning to move to SF and I want to pursue a PhD in the future. Both have an international internship component which might be department funded. Korbel seems to have the better networks and more motivated people. My background is I come from an interdisciplinary masters which is more general and I want to do a more specialised degree for my second masters which is available at Korbel.
