<p>Stanford, Berkeley (more for political science than IR), USC, UCSD</p>

<p>Stanford, Berkeley, UCSD, and USC all show up in the Ivory Tower IR rankings.
So does UCLA.
Another ~Western possibility is the University of Denver (Korbel School), which would be much less selective than most of the others we’re mentioning. These are the California/Western schools that show up somewhere (anywhere) in the IT/IR rankings. </p>

<p>Many colleges have good political science departments. To identify especially strong departments at research universities, you could consider the US News or NRC/Chronicle graduate program rankings. </p>
