<p>I really love Cornell and planned to apply to it, but I've recently found out that they don't have an IR major (which I plan to major in). How good of a place is Cornell to study IR (w/ the IR concentration, and etc.) in comparison to places like Gtwn or JHU? I'm assuming that I'd major in Government? Thanks.</p>
<p>probably not that great (relatively), atleast to Georgetown</p>

<p>I'd honestly say that if you want to do IR Georgetown is the place to be. However, if you want more extensive learning opportunties and probably a generally stronger student body, with still an A-class government program, come to Cornell. You won't go wrong either way, it just depends on how devoted you are to IR.</p>
<p>Thanks for the replies. I've heard about the IR concentration, but am not sure what it actually is. Is it a way to major in Government with a focus on IR? Also, I read something about designing your own majors. How does that work?</p>
