<p>Harvard
Princeton (can major in the Woodrow Wilson School of Public Affairs)
Stanford
Columbia
University of Michigan- Ann Arbor
University of Wisconsin-Madison
University of Virginia (Larry Sabato is a renowned scholar of American politics)
Washington University in St. Louis
Bowdoin College
Tufts University (for IR, the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy)
Johns Hopkins (also for International Relations)
University of Chicago (see also their Harris School of Public Policy)
UC-Berkeley
UC-San Diego
George Washington University
American University
Davidson College (IR)</p>
<p>That's all I can think of right now. I'm not even a poli. sci. major so you should probably keep asking around....</p>
<p>Just so you know, SAIS at JHU and Fletcher at Tufts are not open to undergrads.</p>

<p>Yes, but the undergraduate IR/IS programs at both these schools are still top-notch. Tufts in particular.</p>
<p>Also, just because a Tufts undergrad's IR major is granted by the College of Liberal Arts doesn't mean that Fletcher doesn't play a role in that student's education. In fact, many of the IR undergrad profs are also Fletcher profs; furthermore, upperclassmen with qualifying grades can take Fletcher courses. The IR undergraduate department is even housed in the Fletcher School, etc.</p>
<p>I don't know how it would be for JHU seeing that SAIS is in D.C., and not in Baltimore.</p>
