<p>Nervmom, what is your child thinking about for a major? AU is exceptionally strong in International Studies, Pubic Policy and Politics. It has a strong international focus and great access to internships. While the other majors may also be strong, in my mind paying AU tuition for most other majors doesn’t seem worth it. I also struggle with the “value” of this investment but for my D it offered the best access to the best opportunities and experiences. To study International Relations from people who work in the field and in a city like DC makes stretching for the $ a good investment. At least I hope so :)</p>
