Columbia MA Modern European Studies

[Matthew3957]

Hi All,

 

Wondering if anyone knows anything about this program or if they have attended it. I am looking to eventually get a Ph.D and assume it would help boost my application for that as I did not get into any Ph.D programs this year. What I am wondering is how much interaction and attention can you get from professors? What is the overall impression of the program within the school itself?

 

The program offers very little funding - though some - and I would have to find a lot of external awards and work part-time still to get everything in order. I just do not want to take on more debt if it will not be for anything that will help me down the road.

 

I am looking to hopefully get a Ph.D in either history or an interdisciplinary field that emphasizes literature, history, and anthropology.

 

Obviously, I would like to not pay for graduate school but it seems like it could be a big help.

I don't think these "cash cow" MAs are that helpful to most people, especially because of the debt you will take on. There are threads about other MA programs of this type, like MAPSS at Chicago, so maybe looking at those will help you?
