NYU (Steinhardt) vs Columbia (Teachers College)

[danmunier]

Accepted at both schools for MA programs in International Education. NYU isn't providing a ton of money so I'll have quite a bit of loans to pay. Haven't received funding info from TC yet. Any recommendations or previous experience at these schools/in these programs? Thanks!

Hm, I am wondering the same thing! I visited TC last week, and the only thing I can say is the reputation is outstanding but the feeling I got was that Master's students aren't too high on their priority list, even though there are a ton of them. The pros to NYU's program, at least in my case (art education) is that the cohort is much smaller, and it seems like you get much more interaction/involvement with your faculty. I'm totally lost on what to do.

Hey! I've also been admitted to TC!——Department of Organization&Leadership, M.A. in psychology-organizational. What do you think of the reputation and career perspects of this program, especially for international students?
