Thanks for the insight enfenteterrible.

If money would not be an issue (through fellowships specifically for non-degree programs), would you then say the program would be worth doing? I’m looking to pursue a 2-year IR degree after a certificate from Hopkins-Nanjing, for example at SFS or SAIS. Would having done the certificate help with admissions to the top programs? (since most practically require post-undergraduate experience) Or would schools, especially SAIS since it also administers Hopkins-Nanjing, be see the certificate as a “cop out” of sorts?

What are people’s thoughts on the value and purpose of both the overall Nanjing program and of the certificate track?
