<p>I'm a high school senior considering becoming a political science major...I've pretty much narrowed my selection process down to just SUNY schools (unless I were to get a scholarship to a private school), so I was wondering if someone could help.</p>
<p>SUNY Buffalo according to Gourman Report</p>
<p>Hmm, is there a full listing of how the SUNY schools rank with regard to polisci? Or maybe the top 5-10 or so? Thank you very much.</p>
<p>If I were choosing a SUNY school to study political science, I'd go with Albany, given its location in the state capital.</p>
<p>if you are just "considering" this major, don't choose a suny based just on this. binghamton is the top suny university - and it is the county seat so there is local political stuff around if you are interested. much stronger reuptuation in general than albany.</p>
<p>SUNY Geno is supposed to have a good poli sci dept, if you're looking for a more LACish place.</p>
<p>ALBANY! It's in the state capital, has great internship resources and opportunities.</p>
<p>albany, binghamton, and geneseo are all VERY different - size, location, social atmostphere. you have to consider more carefully what is important to you about your college experience. you can find a good poli sci dept - but do you want a smaller school in a very rural area (geneseo), a small university center in a smaller city/suburban setting (binghamton - the school is actually in a suburb of the city of binghamton), or do you want a big school, with an active party scene, in a bigger city (albany - note, i said bigger, not big :) -- all depends on where you are coming from)</p>
<p>focusing just on one dept that you think you may be interested in is going to distort your consideration. the suny system has a wide array of schools that vary tremendously in size, location, selectivity, etc. regardless of which has a better dept, ones experience at buffalo would be vastly different than ones experience at oneonta, for example. think about what other criteria matter to you.</p>
<p>Thanks for the advice everyone, I'll take everything into consideration.</p>
