4+1 Program?

As I’m narrowing down my lists to apply this fall, I’m quite sure that I want to have a 4+1 program to graduate in 5 years with my masters degree. Two things:

  1. Are 4+1 programs worth pursuing? (I would likely be doing one in something related to public policy or international relations to later apply to law school)
  2. Do any of you know if Princeton has a 4+1 program? I’ve searched but can’t find any. Is it worth removing the university from my list given they might not have one?

That would be an odd criteria in my view especially if you are looking at top universities. Even for universities that have an accelerated masters program, there is no guarantee that you will be eligible. Most you apply to when you are a Junior. Also, in your other post you were talking about needing FA. I think few carryover any aid into the graduate program. That last year could cost you $70k.
