<p>Has anyone here had experience with the Linguistics or International Relations departments at UGA? I'd really appreciate some info!</p>
<p>Not sure about Linguistics, but the International Affairs program is very solid. It's got a strong core of classes (INTL 1100, INTL 3200, and INTL 3300) that give everyone a solid overview of the major theories and methods, and then students can choose at least two concentrations in one of the following: Int'l Relations, Comparative Politics, Community, Prosperity, or Security. The professors are, overall, very good and the upper level classes can be challenging. There are also a good number of additional research opportunities available through some of the Centers on campus like GLOBIS and CITS (search the website for more info). I would say it's definitely one of the stronger departments on campus and if you choose your professors wisely it can be quite an experience.</p>
<p>I hear its tough getting classes at UGA for INTA. I still think Tech has a superior program overall.</p>
<p>I was just going to start a thread about UGA and IR... hmm... glad it's a solid program. How are internships and study abroad, and how does it compare to other schools like UWisconsin, Ohio State or American ?
btw Gtech for IR ?</p>
<p>I would agree. International Affairs/Relations is a good field here. I was a political science major, but took several international affairs classes and was very impressed. There are certainly many study abroad opportunities in international affairs (check the SPIA) website. I can't really comment how it stacks up with Wisconsin, Ohio State, and American. If you want the overall college experience, I would seriously consider Wisconsin, Ohio State, and UGA.</p>
