<p>What gov’t agencies recruit @ American. How many students go into the Foreign Service, or do other IR related things. How helpful is American in getting you a job?</p>
<p>There’s a thread here <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=56589&page=7&pp=15&highlight=american+university[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=56589&page=7&pp=15&highlight=american+university</a>
where an AU alumni (starts 3rd post from the bottom) talks about some job prospects coming out of American. He basically says that AU is a good school. Maybe it’s a little less reputable than Tufts, JHU, Georgetown, but that job prospects depend mostly on the drive of the student rather than the school.</p>
