Best Colleges for International Relations?

<p>Obviously Georgetown's SFS is up there, but what else?</p>

<p>Gourman rankings for undergraduate International Relations:</p>

<p>Tufts
Princeton
Johns Hopkins
Georgetown
U Penn
Harvard
Cornell
U Wisconsin Madison
MIT
Stanford
UVA
Notre Dame
US Air Force Acad
US Military Acad
Claremont McKenna</p>

<p>Though I think this Gourman ranking is somewhat lacking.</p>

<p>American is really strong. </p>

<p>Occidental?</p>

<p>Middlebury too</p>

<p>I've heard great things about American U.</p>

<p>I've also heard CMC is pretty awesome in IR -- dunno why it's ranked so low by Gourman.</p>

<p>I am doing Penn IR and it is a very challenging and exciting major that draws upon a wide number of Penn's excellent departments, especially history, economics, and the regional studies areas.</p>

<p>Feel free to PM me if you have any questions on just how awesome it is ;)</p>

<p>I'd say Tufts and Georgetown are way ahead of everyone else's IR undergrad programs. That doesn't mean they're the end-all, be-all, but they're really spectacular.</p>
