Does anybody know anything about University of Toronto's Master of Global Affairs program?

Its new, and I haven't heard much about it. Has anybody heard much about its reputation, etc?

It's marketed as a professional master's program, and a lot of the courses are directed towards preparing you for non-academic work to some extent (evaluations, etc. may be designed to teach you practical skills). I also think there's an internship component. Broad variety of people with different backgrounds enter the program. Some of the profs who teach for it are fairly well known (e.g. Louis Pauly) and the Munk Centre itself has been the host of International Organization for the past term, under Pauly and Adler. Generally, I think you'd get the Toronto brand (and maybe the Munk Centre brand) more than any MGA-program specific brand in terms of reputation, given how new the program is. This might be a question to ask the government affairs section, given that the MGA program doesn't really bill itself as an academic program.
