<p>scsazak,</p>
<p>Michigan doesn't offer an MA, which is what I think the OP wants.</p>
<p>A PhD is a huge investment that, quite frankly, does not often pay off financially.</p>
<p>Yes, but they still provide MA programs in collaboration with other majors. Political Science does not have an MA program alone but they surely can create one for OP with courses not only from Political Science but also from other majors she may like. Maybe Latin American Studies if they have one or so. </p>
<p>That may even turn out to be a better suitable program for her.</p>
<p>Ah, my apologies.</p>
<p>I am in my first semester in the Georgetown MSFS program and I really couldn't imagine going to many other places for the interest areas you mentioned... Just because DC is where it's at for those types of NGOs.</p>
<p>I'm sorry that you didn't like DC -- the overwhelming sense from my class is that DC is wonderful, and there are a LOT of New Yorkers in our program...</p>
<p>Maybe give DC another look? I don't really know what the pay-out is for foreign students at my school. American is not cheap...not sure where it stands relative to SAIS or MSFS without looking it up but it's still pretty expensive. All the schools are. And that's part of the argument for going to school in DC -- you get the connections you need, the internships/job opportunities are close, and the professors are still involved in the local agencies.</p>
