Josef Korbel School of International Studies-U of Denver?

[nesine]

Do you guys know anything about this school?

Now, I have a chance to get in here for an MA through a Turkish professor who will be holding a position there by september and has a great project. I am from Turkey, interested in growing Nationalism and Racism in Turkey and Middle East. Actually I have been admitted to an MA program in POLS in my native country. However, this program also seems to be perfect for me.

What do you think? Which one is better for someone who is dreaming a PhD in the US?

I have been told that the program has a good ranking. Is it true? And of course, Colorado? Good for the first experience of a foreign student?

Going to Denver or staying here two more yrs?

Any recommendations and views will be appreciated.

Thanks

Hi there,

I am the Associate Director of Graduate Admissions at the Josef Korbel School and am happy to shine some light on the MA programs here. Based on your interests and the fact that you plan to pursue a PhD, I would recommend looking at our MA in international studies in more detail. This degree will best prepare you for doctoral work as it has four field specializations to focus on: IPE, political theory, comparative politics and political theory. There is also a highly customizable concentration with this degree as well and the option (highly recommended) to complete an internship and thesis.

Currently the Josef Korbel School is ranked #12 in the world for graduate programs in International affairs. Regarding Colorado, the state has the most non profits per capita in the country with nealry 19,000 in Denver alone. It is also the 3rd largest federal employer in the country and is very progressive in a myriad of areas. While the program of course is academically rigorous, Colorado provides an ideal backdrop to find balance in life - if you love the outdoors this is a terrific place to be - plus we have 300+ days of sunshine! If you have any additional questions about our school, programs or Colorado in general, feel free to email me: korbeladm@du.edu.

PS - i was in Istanbul two years ago, recruiting for our school - I went to Bilgi, Koc and Yeditepe - beautiful universities and wonderful people. We look forward to welcoming the new Turkish professor who will be joining us this fall!
