Elliott: Specialization in International Security vs M.A in Security Policy Studies

[Miskina]

I'll attend the M.A in International Affairs at the Elliott School next Fall. I'll choose the concentration in International Security Studies (12 credits), and through the Elective coursework I plan on taking more classes related to international security (or maybe I'll pick a second concentration in US Foreign Policy but I expect these courses to be related to security as well). 

 

I'm wondering if from an employer's point of view, a M.A in Security Policy Studies and a M.A in International Affairs with a strong specialization in international security look alike or not. I realize that it is a difficult question to answer since it all depends on the employers, but maybe someone has known a similar situation?
