Hey everyone, I am a current undergraduate applying to programs in international affairs. I'm interested in affordable, pragmatic programs that will lead me to a job in international business (transfer pricing, procurement analysis) or federal government. I suspect jobs in the former would be easier to come by. My rationale is that I'll transition to my dream job after a few years of corporate work.

In other words, I'm looking less for training in policy and economic analysis and more for practical/functional international business skills. As a Poli Sci major, I've always been interested in international business but obviously lack the training.

The Bush School's (Texas A&M) Master's in International Economics and Development, University of Miami's MAIA, and Penn State's Master in International Affairs seem to offer ideal programs for what I want. I am skeptic, however, of the Miami program - its MA in international affairs offers a concentration in international business, but its a relatively new program that does not seem spectacularly connected.

I'm confident I will get into all three. Which of these programs are the best for my goals? Thanks!
