Godd program, Comprehensive exam is a long term preparation thing.

Teahers are vastly experienced. Some appear disinterested and seeking reinforcement of theories they endorse, in one case arguing for their position when shown a picture specificly refuting that position they had taken. Institution is hard but excellent. Library usage weekly required, library staff rarely responds to queries, thus support weaker than expected considering quality of work required. Search engines obtuse relative to specific study area with Google providing more data than Norwich Google. Drop out ...

Great Networking, Impressive Diversity
July 2, 2010
I've just completed the 2010 Residency program for the Diplomacy degree after having finished the course work in November 2009 (I started in June 2008). The degree is incredibly challenging and requires a lot of reading and critical thinking. From weekly discussions in the online classroom to the 20-25 page term papers, you are given every opportunity to learn from engaging with classmates and to develop writing skills. While many students do have a military ...

Very satisfied
February 13, 2010
I finished my diplomacy masters in 2008 and must say that the program was much more challenging than I expected. Having tried other online courses I was pleasantly surprised at its structure. Excellent program and solidly backed up by a stellar "bricks and mortar" school. There was one issue that arose about an instructor that was a very poor example of educator. I discovered after a simple google search that this person was a disbarred ...

Great program
September 29, 2009
I completed my Diplomacy Degree in 2005 and am just about done with the coursework for my PhD. This is a real program, not a give away by any means, it's challenging but worth every minute. You will never find professors of this caliber on any one campus; they come from a number of institutions and are world class. Highly recommend

Quality Education
November 27, 2008
I recently completed my last seminar in the Diplomacy program. After a year and a half it is hard to believe that I am finally done. The workload was intense and almost crippling through Seminars 4-5, but the rest were pretty balanced. You are registered as a Full-Time student, and make no mistake, you need every hour of the week you can spare. I averaged 20-25 hours most weeks and even more through the tough ...

MDY 2008

I haven't taken an online degree program before, so I can't draw any comparisons. Overall, I'm fairly satisfied but I have a few complaints: while the core curriculum--the first three seminars--are well structured, the three concentration seminars (in my case, Conflict Management) are a little more fractured. By the time I made it to Seminar 6, I actually had to go back and write down the title of each week's lecture just to make sense ...

Half Way Review
January 19, 2008
I am half way through this degree and so far it has been a great experience. Professors are hit or miss but they are always good. My economics professor, however was great and showed the level the school provides. Each prof has had a Ph.D so far and has been engaged. The material is doable but not easy. The reading, especially for international law, is mind boggling. If you can write well you will definitely ...

I am exactly half-way through the program. I will be immersed in the Terrorism concentration in about a week and am thoroughly looking forward to it. I have been very impressed with the professors who I have spoken with on the phone and been readily available online. The work is demanding and does occupy a great deal of your time but if you have a background in international relations or even political science in your undergrad work that will help. Trust me. 

My only issue at this point is I am struggling to find a significant amount of professors with whom I have spoken with at some of the very esteemed colleges in the nation who have heard a great deal about this program. Which doesn't mean anything negative at all and, more than likely, won't be something that serves as a deterrent as I am getting prepared to apply to several schools for my PhD work, but it doesn't help. :)

Definitely recommend it to those who really are interested in this field and can handle the vast amounts of reading and demands that are required to maintain quality grades.

I completed the program in 2005 and found it to be challenging but well worth the effort. I took a couple of years off from my studies before stating on my PhD and am almost through with the coursework for that degree.  I should have started immediately but that's life.  I highly recommend this program.
