Hi, I am international student and long term don't plan to stay in USA. I am trying to decide between Berkeley and Northwestern for environment and sustainability programs. Financially I have aid from both and that is not a concern at the moment. I want to get into helping companies transition to more sustainable options preferably in the textile sector and I am also interested in sustainable investing portfolio management.
Both the programs are great!! Northwestern has a specialisation in finance which speaks to what I want to learn but isn't deep enough to lead me to that career path directly. The Berkeley program is new but they have a strong reputation for Energy and Environment and the first batch had good words for the program. Even though Northwestern doesn't have a strong foot in environment sector based on some research, their placements and salaries seem really good.
I am torn between the two. Any insights or thoughts would be helpful. Thank you.
