<p>Hey guys! I really want to work on global studies/ international affairs.. but almost every school says they're a good school for it...which schools are actually good with their program?</p>
<p>American, Tufts, Georgetown, Occidental College</p>
<p>[Inside</a> the Ivory Tower - a ranking of the top university graduate and undergraduate programs in international relations](<a href=“http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inside_the_Ivory_Tower]Inside”>Inside the Ivory Tower - Wikipedia)</p>
<p>The schools that consistently do they best in placing graduates into good jobs related to international studies are Georgetown, Johns Hopkins, Princeton, Columbia and Tufts. Behind those five come Harvard, American, and GWU.</p>
<p>As always, of course, a lot depends on what school will admit you, what schools you can afford, and what schools are a good fit with your personal preferences.</p>
<p>A lot also depends on your areas of interest and career plans. International affairs is a broad area—foreign policy? humanitarian assistance? international trade? economic development? human rights? global health? national security? international environmental affairs? particular world regions or countries? etc.</p>
<p>Having said that, here are the schools that are considered generally to have the best reputations in global studies/international affairs: Georgetown, Harvard, Yale, Dartmouth, Penn, Stanford, Princeton, Columbia, Chicago, Tufts, George Washington, Brown, Cornell, Johns Hopkins, Tufts, Duke, American.</p>
<p>Here are some others to consider: Some others to consider: Bowdoin, Michigan, Denver, Ohio State, Georgia, Wellesley, Middlebury, Boston U, Syracuse, MIT, Macalester, Occidental, Indiana, Williams, Berkeley, Amherst, Virginia, UCSD, U Washington, Northwestern, Wisconsin, Northwestern, William & Mary, Minnesota, Pittsburgh, Texas, Oregon, Seton Hall</p>
<p>You also might consider schools that offer a language flagship program ([The</a> Language Flagship - Undergraduate Programs](<a href=“http://www.thelanguageflagship.org/undergraduate-programs]The”>http://www.thelanguageflagship.org/undergraduate-programs)) or certain international business programs that offer significant foreign experience and language training, e.g., U South Carolina:[International</a> Business - Darla Moore School of Business](<a href=“404 page not found | University of South Carolina”>404 page not found | University of South Carolina)</p>
