My experience with the field of International Education Policy and Management program at Vanderbilt University was very miserable. There are two people running the program, Prof. Brian Heuser and Prof. Steve Heyneman. Both act, as if they have better things to do rather than teach students and help them with different issues. It's impossible to get on their calendars. Their research and other consulting projects are far more important than students. No guidance, no instruction, no career support!!!!! Many students come to the program because of the experience and connections of Prof. Henyeman (22 years at World Bank) however, having this high-profile person in the program is only a decoration. He is too busy going on the trips on his other consulting projects, rather than helping students. The program has a large percent of foreign students (50%) and such attitude is unacceptable. I don't know any student in our cohort who Prof. Heyneman has helped through his network. No career support whatsoever. When you come to the program, you are told "My friendships are getting old, you have to find internships and jobs yourself, I will not help you". I come from a third world country but I felt that I received more attention from my professors, and I was more challenged intellectually at my school at home than in this program at Vanderbilt.
