<p>Does anyone know the strength of the Economics and International Relations programs at Penn? I’m trying to decide between Penn and JHU. I know that JHU is generally regarded as having the best IR program in the country, but their econ program is not as strong. Any help would be great. Thanks</p>
<p>I just read that the Econ department at Penn is among the top 10 in the nation. There IR department is also renowned. I plan on double majoring in the two.</p>
<p>Is there an actual ranking for undergraduate IR programs?</p>
<p>It's important to separate grad rankings from undergrad rankings...ESPECIALLY in the case of JHU when the IR grad school is located in D.C. and not actually at Baltimore</p>
<p>I reading information on the Econ department under undergraduate majors, so I assume that their "Top 10" ranking is undergraduate. I didn't know that ranked Econ/IR programs either.</p>
<p>JHU IR ranking higher than Penn's. Penn's econ higher than JHU. That said, combining rankings of both programs, Penn will probably come out higher.<br>
But aside from all this talk about rankings, have you considered campus and student life?</p>
<p>Dont be silly, rankings are all that matters in life....</p>
