<p>i know that the IR major is only offered as an Honors major in NYU.. and i was wondering how competitive would it be if i wanted to major in IR ?</p>
<p>I'm a freshman planning on applying to IR. It's an honors major and NYU has a strong program, plus great opportunities for internships related to IR in NYC. </p>
<p>You're required to take International Politics, Economics, and have taken at least 1 class to fulfill the Foreign Language requirment before applying 1st semester Soph yr - however, if like me you're in LSP, you can take the required IR prerequisites Fall of Soph yr. A minimum GPA of 3.65 is also required. Generally, they select 20-30 students per year, so it is somewhat competitive, so make sure you have a good GPA. </p>
<p>Anyway take a look at this site for more info NYU</a> > Politics > International Relations Undergraduate Program</p>
