SIS at American University

[whynotwanda]

Has anyone graduated from here or going to go here? How are the classes/professors?

Do most people take 2 years to finish and do most students do work abroad while they're at AU??

I've heard that it doesn't actually prepare you for a career afterwards?

What do most graduates do afterwards? Is American's reputation across the board worth attending here?

I'd love any information about this program since I haven't been able to find alumni who speak highly of it.

You might want to try posting this in the Government Affairs subforum of Professional Programs. That's where all the International Relations action is.

I get the impression that American is sort of the safety school for people who are applying to top tier International Affairs programs. The fact that you haven't been able to find enthusiastic alumni probably isn't a good sign either. They have a great (and very green) new building, but their emphasis on study abroad programs instead of international internships strikes me as kind of undergrad-y. Plus, they didn't offer me any funding, so maybe I'm a little bitter... haha
