<p>I am just interested in learning more about the quality/content of the Intl Relations program, so if anyone is familiar with it, I would appreciate some info! Thanks!</p>
<p>I know that there's the prestigious Huntsman program, which is a mix of international relations & business. Info at <a href="http://www.upenn.edu/huntsman/%5B/url%5D">http://www.upenn.edu/huntsman/</a></p>
<p>the Huntsman program is a mixture of international STUDIES and business. International studies is not the same as international relations, rather is akin to regional studies.

<p>Penn's IR program is strong, but it seems that many students do it to launch a professional career or as a prelude to law school and not to go into academia. </p>
<p>That said, as an IR major, it provides a lot of good background and the program offers great opportunties.</p>
<p>You do have to write a senior thesis though, which I'll have to do next year, and have no idea what I'm going write about.</p>
