Which degree would be better to pursue


Which degree would be better to pursue?
An MA in Globalization Studies, Dartmouth College OR An MA in Modern European Studies, Columbia University With both degrees I would take courses in Economics, Finance and Public Policy. Both schools have offered generous financial aid and I am wondering which degree would be better in this economy and would help open more doors. Thanks.

I suppose it depends on what you plan to do with the degree. If you're unsure, Globalization Studies seems more versatile (and potentially more marketable). To be honest they're both great schools and unless an employer is looking for specifically one degree or the other (I highly doubt that an employer would do that unless the position you were applying for was highly specialized), I imagine either one is good to have. If you have a specific career goal in mind, you may want to speak with an academic advisor or a professional in that field to determine which one is more appropriate. I think I would probably go for the school with the better financial aid package. I don't know how big of a concern money is for you, though. Good luck!
