No Language Study at Elliot School?
Poast new message in this thread
Date: April 19th, 2009 1:00 AM Author: razzmatazz chocolate nibblets I was at the Elliot School's open house the other day and it really surprised me when one of the speakers told us that language study is NOT part of the MA program and that essentially you find a way to learn a foreign language on your own. Is this common among many other IR MA programs? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=979237&forum_id=3#11472131) |

Date: April 19th, 2009 11:12 AM Author: razzmatazz chocolate nibblets I don't understand why they wouldn't at least let grads audit undergrad language classes. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=979237&forum_id=3#11473738) |
Date: April 19th, 2009 6:02 PM Author: rose location mad cow disease UCSD's IR/PS program has language as an integral part of the curriculum, so there goes that tier 2 theory. Pretty sure Fletcher has the same rule as GW though (but will let you audit courses, I believe).
I don't think it's entirely unreasonable for an IR school to expect you to have a strong language foundation before beginning the program. And the reason GW won't let you audit the courses is pretty obvious... they want to suck as much money out of you as possible. |

and if fletcher has the same deal, then that takes that school down a notch in my book |

Date: April 19th, 2009 9:29 PM Author: razzmatazz chocolate nibblets Are you really that stupid?
His point was that IR/PS IS a 2nd tier school like GW, but unlike GW, it has language study as an INTEGRAL PART OF THE CURRICULUM - which destroys your theory that no 2nd tier schools have language study as part of their program. Then you chime in telling us that "ir/ps IS a 2nd tier school, unless you are talking about their phd program." Well duh! That was his whole point.
And after I pointed it out you're still too dense to see it?????? |

Date: April 19th, 2009 9:43 PM Author: galvanic psychic parlour oh, yeah i misread.
but i also didnt say that NO tier-2 programs have language. my point was that tier-1's would have a language requirement |

Date: April 19th, 2009 9:53 PM Author: razzmatazz chocolate nibblets Actually you did say as much when you said "it's the rule at the tier 2's and below." "thats why they are tier 2's"
And I never said anything about a "language requirement." Elliot has the same exact language requirement as Gtown, SAIS, and any of the others. The difference is that at some of the schools you can audit or are expected to take language classes with the undergrads. Because Elliot is structured in such a way that you work/intern during the day and go to class at nights there isnt time for extra language study as part of your Elliot curriculum - and yea if you want to audit or take the classes you have to pay extra. You still have to pass the language proficiency test to graduate. |

Date: April 19th, 2009 10:00 PM Author: razzmatazz chocolate nibblets I never said I was going to Elliot. I said I was at their open house you dumbass. But if a snarky attitude makes you feel better about the fact that you can't read or follow a simple argument then rock on dooder. LMFAO!

Date: April 19th, 2009 10:08 PM Author: razzmatazz chocolate nibblets LOL - you spend time calling other people out on their stupidity but someone calls you out on your blatant retarded stupidity its because "OMG you havent been paying full attention!" Then you try to excuse your idiocy by bragging about the rank of your school. LOL fucking loser.
Maybe next time you should re-read a simple argument before you ask someone "wtf are you talking about" regarding said argument.
If I knew what school you went to it would definitely lose some points for admitting such an asinine retard. |

Date: April 20th, 2009 2:09 PM Author: Drab associate newt Fletcher is not the "same deal". You can audit a 5th course every semester at no additional cost, most opt to use this for language study. Additionally, 2 of your 4 language courses can count for degree credit if you want.

Hope that helps. |

You've totally discredited yourself now if you'd only mostly done that with your posts. Lame. And you still haven't answered the question of where you attend/attended grad school. Please don't respond in Russian, as impressive as that may seem to you. It actually is pretty cool but no need to brag about it.
