Hello!

Does anybody have any suggestions for grad programs (PhD, MA, MBA, a combination of those or otherwise) that includes some (not necessarily all) combination of the following:

WMST
Urban Planning
MBA
American Studies/History
Southern History
Gender/Race/Class studies

I am a little overwhelmed by the process and trying to choose the right ( Read more... )

My suggestion would be to first figure out what you really want. I can't stress that enough ( ... )

Thanks for the advice; I am presently in the process of doing all those things as we speak.

I love all of those things and am just curious to know what is out there in terms of interdisciplinary programs. I am a bit post-faux-interdisciplinary stuff (which may sound a bit obtuse if you aren't coming out of a "classical" WMST undergraduate program), and would be thrilled if there is a program out there that would say, focus on Women in the U.S. socio-political environment with a joint MBA in non-profits, advocacy and small business building.

It isn't in the b-school, but Georgia State has a MA in non-profit management (in the policy studies/Economics/poli-sci school)which I have heard is very good. I don't know anything first-hand, just what I have heard. But the b-school is great, and mixing some business classes with a non-profit mgmt degree would make you very valuable on the job market.

I don't know about joint MBA stuff, but my boyfriend's in a very interdisciplinary American Studies program at Rutgers. There's a lot of overlap there between AmSt, Wmst, Black Studies...It might be worth examining other American Studies programs to see if that's the case. I'm sure programs down South would emphasize Southern literature and culture more heavily than some programs up here.

Funny - I think I know your boyfriend from looking at who your LJ friends are. Does he know an English girl who just started the Women's Studies PhD at Emory? If so, that's me. :)

Is he honkytonkhussy? Are you Abby? (Sorry if I got your name wrong- I'm thinking of a girl who studies female hobos- is that you?)

Yep, that's me! (Funny you should bring that up; when I started here at Emory, everyone was like, "Oh, you're the girl who did her MA in hobos!" I will forever be known as the hobo girl. There are worse things to be remembered for though, right?)

Good luck with reapplying (if that's what you're doing; I seem to remember T saying you were going to do that).

yes, I am, but not to Emory-- it looks like the ny metro area for me. Sorry to pigeonhole you! ;)
