<p>I asked this question on the Penn Board also, how is Political Science at Columbia?</p>
<p>According to the London School of Economics -- a more reliable source than the highly commercial U.S. New & World Report -- #1 in the world (see page 17): <a href="http://personal.lse.ac.uk/HIX/Working%20Papers/Hix-Rankings-30Jan04.pdf%5B/url%5D">http://personal.lse.ac.uk/HIX/Working%20Papers/Hix-Rankings-30Jan04.pdf</a>.</p>
<p>poli sci at columbia is considered one of the best in the country</p>
<p>Correction THE BEST. (Though I'm a bit biased, it was my second major... :-) )</p>
<p>Is poly sci at Columbia HARD? (I know it's not easy, but is it more difficult than history? English?) I don't wanta work too hard... ;-)</p>
<p>Thanks for all the info you guys it was really helpful</p>
<p>You're definitely better off going to Columbia for polisci than Penn.</p>
