<p>UCSD OR UCI for international studies? (which has a better program)</p>
<p>i don’t know much about the uci program but the UCSD one is an interdisciplinary program drawing from econ, poli sci, anthro, history, sociology departments ( you pick two areas to specialize in). if you choose to specialize in econ and poli sci, UCSD is better in that its better ranked in those departments but i don’t know how graduate rankings translates to undergrad learning. UCSD also has a 5 year BA/MIA program with IR/PS, its professional international affairs school (top 10 school in int’l affairs).</p>
