<p>In the fall I'm planning on applying to the five IR programs that everyone knows: Fletcher, SAIS, SIPA, American SIS, and IR/PS. </p>
<p>For the sake of funding and also fallback schools, what are the rest of the top IR programs? Someone in another thread mentioned USC, Syracuse, and Pitt. </p>
<p>Any more?</p>
<p>The Elliot School at GW.</p>
<p>How 'bout the Penn State School of International Affairs? How's that?</p>
<p>Oh....that one hasn't even opened yet has it. If I understand correctly, Penn State's School of International Affairs will be opening in Fall 2008....</p>
<p>Denver, UCSD, the Monterey Institute...</p>
<p>Georgetown Master's of Science in Foreign Service, Princeton Woodrow Wilson, Yale IR...</p>
<p>I'd also check out the Jackson School of Int'l Studies at UW-Seattle. Didn't see them on the Foreign Policy rankings, but came across their site and they seem to have a pretty strong program in terms of concentrations and course offerings.</p>
