Human Rights - Columbia or LSE

[manolow99]

Hi all!

So, I just got great news and got offers from the following programs:

1. Human Rights Studies M.A (Columbia University)

and

2. Human Rights MSc (London School of Economics)

Surely both locations (London and NYC) are amazing and I'm really stoked to study in any of them. However, they are really expensive so I need to make an informed choice and also seek out scholarships.

So, I'd like to know if any of you have any opinions on these programs and overall experience in these Unis. Is any of them more prestigious for human rights/poltics/IR? Are they worth the price?

Thanks in advance!

I think Columbia enjoys a slightly better reputation and more resources regarding the field of human rights. Also, a great advantage of Columbia is that you may cross-register at SIPA, which allows you to explore practical opportunities in human rights.
