   Feed Supplier to All   
   [Web Feed] UCSB or Duke MEM program

   Hello! I am somewhat new to using Reddit and I figured this was a good a place   
   as any to ask for some graduate school advice. I am currently trying to figure   
   out where I’d like to go to school—UCSB’s Bren School of Environmental   
   Science and    
   Management or Duke’s Nicholas School of the Environment. Right now the   
   financial situation for both is pretty similar, however UCSB has the   
   opportunity to be cheaper based on GSA positions covering tuition, but they   
   obviously are competitive and not    
   guaranteed. I think for me it comes down to which school will give me a better   
   opportunity for a great job after graduating and I tend to lean towards Duke   
   in that respect because it is so well known. However, I do know that UCSB and   
   Bren in particular    
   are fairly well-known in the environmental field. I suppose I’m just asking   
   you environmental professionals out there how much of a difference it would   
   make to have an applicant for a position from a school like UCSB vs a school   
   like Duke? Does the    
   name “Duke” carry the strength in reputation that I think it does?   
      
   Both schools have faculty with research that I am interested in and a fairly   
   interdisciplinary program.
