International Relations

<p>Does anybody know any colleges with good international relations programs besides the ones in DC (gw, gtown,etc)??</p>

<p>Tufts has the best :) American, Middlebury (kind of - not exactly IR per se but virtually the same field), Brown, Johns Hopkins is excellent.</p>

<p>thanx i'll look into them</p>

<p>what are some jobs that you could look into after majoring in international relations? besides politics</p>

<p>Well, the State Department is an obvious choice (and great for internships in the summer) along with the UN and a plethora of other NGO's and international non-profit or human rights organizations.</p>

<p>Claremont McKenna
Stanford
UC San Diego
University of San Diego
University of Washington</p>

<p>add the CIA to deroutefille's list.</p>

<p>These international relations programs prepare students for careers in the international arena, government work in the Foreign Service, agency work, and public and private international organizations, including non-governmental organizations, consulting, business, banking, teaching, and international journalism or marketing</p>

<p>thanx for the suggestions!</p>

<p>isnt Woodrow Wilson School @ Princeton a IR school? The tops by far is SFS at Georgetown..... for unergrad. For grad... its all over the place.</p>

<p>Um, I think it is. But for grad school...I definitely think there are some stand-outs, to me at least...
Johns Hopkins SAIS
The Fletcher School at Tufts
Georgtown SFS again...</p>

<p>Wilson school is also public affairs.</p>

<p>3 international relations majors from connecticut college received fullbrights or watson awards 2 years ago (a huge number considering how small the college is). its one of the best departments there.</p>

<p>thanx thats good to kno</p>

<p>Nine Georgetown students this year were awarded Fullbright grants.</p>

<p>I am 98% positive that I want to get into International Relations, something to do with Foreign Policy, but I really don't know what I'd do with a degree there. What kind of UN jobs are available? I also think that I might want to go into political journalism, specifically international journalism or international business. What school should I go into for that, other than Georgetown? If I want to go to pursue IR and foreign policy during my graduate years, will it be a disadvantage if I didn't go to a school that specialized in it during undergrad? Will it be a disadvantage if I didn't major in IR as an undergrad, choosing journalism, poli-sci or business instead? Because two branches of IR I want to seriously consider are International Journalism and International Business. What would be good undergrad colleges for those?</p>

<p>Try Princeton. The Woodrow Wilson School is top notch, and offers a vast range of majors. If you change your mind, you can also do something other than IR, and you have tons of options.</p>

<p>how are BU's programs compared to say Tufts or GW?</p>

<p>BU has a very good program, just not as good as GW and definetly not as great as Tufts.
GW does have a big edge.... DC !!!</p>

<p>my vote is American, especially since it also has a strong School of Communications(journalism.)and yaah, DC!</p>

<p>^I agree with the choice of American, although IMO it's main strength--from an International Relations perspective--would be AU's School of International Service, which features that major. And, yes, DC is definitely the place to be to study IR.:)</p>
