<p>Hi everyone, </p>
<p>I was wondering what schools have strong programs in International Relations, Philosophy and Art History. One school that comes to my mind is the University of Chicago. Any replies will be greatly appreciated! :)</p>
<p>Williams?</p>
<p>It'd be difficult to get into though...obviously.</p>
<p>I am asking this question for a friend of mine and I forgot to mention that they will be a transfer applicant and that they are looking to transfer after their sophomore year @ their current school (meaning entering in the fall of 2010).</p>
<p>Tufts? I know they're strong in IR. And my tourguide when I visited was an Art History/Biology double major. Not sure about philosophy.</p>
<p>NYU would be a near-perfect choice. Its Department of Philosophy ( New</a> York University > Department of Philosophy ) is the highest ranked in the US (and the world): The</a> Philosophical Gourmet Report 2006 - 2008 :: Overall Rankings</p>
<p>The Art History programs, both undergraduate
( New</a> York University > Department of Art History ) and graduate
( Introduction</a> to the Institute of Fine Arts) are among the strongest in the country, the graduate probably being the strongest. Of course, art history lovers also have at their feet the incomparable museums of NYC.</p>
<p>The International Relations undergraduate program in the Politics department<br>
( NYU</a> > Politics > International Relations Undergraduate Program ) is highly respected as well. </p>
<p>It's a hard to beat combination.</p>
<p>Johns Hopkins immediately comes to mind. </p>
<p>Northwestern, Cornell, Boston U, Michigan, and Brown are quite strong in those areas and relatively transfer friendly.</p>
<p>Bump, anyone else? </p>
<p>He is considering Brown but doesn't feel that his GPA is good enough. Also, he is from nyc so he is somewhat hesitant about NYU but I do agree that it would fit him best. Thanks for the replies!</p>
<p>Brown, Yale, Penn, Columbia. Penn is the most transfer-friendly of the three.</p>
<p>I second Johns Hopkins. Johns Hopkins has a terrific IR program (Hopkins SAIS in DC is perenially ranked among the top IR graduate schools in the country, alongside Columbia SIPA, Harvard KSG, Princeton WWS, Tufts Fletcher, Georgetown Walsh etc...) and has top rated art history program (voted top 10 according to 1995 NRC rankings and #1 according to Chronicle of Higher education)... Humanities majors are ranked among the top in the country as well.</p>
<p>Although SAIS is truly amazing, it is mostly irrelevant in this discussion. Because it's in a different location than Johns Hopkins's main campus, I highly doubt that undergrads would be able to effectively take full advantage of SAIS's resources.</p>
