<p>Can anyone give me any information about the American University masters programs offered in Geneva, Beruit, Budapest, Brussels, etc? From what I found there are 11 American colleges abroad. If you are from any of these countries and have any valuable information (anything from how good the programs are, to how strong the degree is considered in the international world, etc.), I would appreciate it greatly!

<p>I am a Spanish Literature major getting ready to study abroad during my junior year. I think I may want to study IR or IB in graduate school. I most definitely aspire to live in Europe after studying in the US and would love to get a job abroad. Any advice??!</p>

<p>I really don't recommend you to study at an American University outside America. Why don't you try to get into a "local" university? I'm not sure about the rest of Europe, but I know that in Switzerland and Germany university education is almost free. Among local employers, the normal universities are certainly more renowned/popular than the private ones you listed. If you want to go into IR/International Law, I recommend you to check out the HEI in Geneva (Kofi Annan!).</p>
