University of Denver - Korbel School. Quality? Comments?

[musicman]

Hi, was just searching on the forum but didn't find too many comments on Korbel (at U of D).

It's said that it's a solid second-tier choice, but do people have regrets going there?

 

How is it regarded for security studies, any alums on the forums?

And internships, how much of a barrier does not being in Washington provide?

        Which federal agencies, public or private instutitions are available in Denver?

 

Is the school really a respected name for IR/IA studies?

 

Does the name have 'clout' (respect) in DC? Or at what level?

 

Anyway, thank you for your comments, responses.

Feel free to PM me.

Additionally, how does Korbel, for security studies, compare to a place like U Pittsburgh?

I have the same questions...anyone?

Well, in my experience, I haven't heard much of Korbel. I was accepted in Korbel but decided to attend SIPA instead. The only thing I know is that a lot of RPCV people go there for their international development program, but I've never met anyone from there, I don't know where they work. I have a colleague that was offered full ride at Korbel but still decided to go to SIPA, so I don't know how telling is that.
