What does anyone here know about the relative strengths and weaknesses of these two programs? Does one of them have a much better reputation than the other?

I already have a B.A., several years of Japanese public school experience, and a CELTA. Eventually, I hope to teach at universities in Europe or to direct public school ESL programs in the U.S.

Thanks!

What is your nationality? Americans, for instance, have a near impossible time getting past visa regs in Europe. Depends on what part of Europe, though. Eastern is more open.

Why are you concerned about a school's reputation? It's really not that important in the long run, I think. Having the degree is. Temple is a very respected school, BTW.

I am as concerned as a prospective employer about a school's reputation. I'm sure most programs fall somewhere in the middle, but if either of the schools under consideration has a definitely good or definitely bad reputation, I want to know.
