<p>Foreign Policy's biennial rankings came out and again SFS was number one at the masters level and number five behind HYPS at the undergrad level. In the second rating, Yale and Stanford were only a hair's breath ahead of SFS with all three schools achieving a 12% raw score. A handful of votes could have made SFS number 3. If only we could do as well at basketball.</p>
<p>Yay!! SFS is still the ONLY undergrad school dedicated to such a special major... mwahahahaha</p>
<p>link?</p>
<p>are there other rankings for similar majors?</p>
<p>University press release: Georgetown</a> University: International Relations Programs Ranked Among Best</p>
<p>For what its worth, while HYPS have the money to attract the big theoreticians (Walt, Waltz, Mearsheimer, etc. etc.), I guarantee that you will not find the selection of courses in IR and related topics that you will find in SFS anywhere else. That, plus DC's location, makes it tops in my book (I am biased, of course).</p>
<p>cafesimone - It's not quite the only one - George Washington has the Elliott School and American U. has the School of International Service, for example. To have undergraduate schools dedicated to IR is quite rare, though.</p>
<p>Doesn't Princeton have the Woodrow Wilson School for IR?</p>
<p>Eek - dzleprechaun - I too, am biased. Still, only 3 schools dedicated to IR in the entire country? Amazing. I hope more schools will begin to pop up as globalization becomes more and more important.</p>
<p>Woodrow Wilson does more than just IR if I remember correctly. It is more of a public policy school, and that would not just focus on international concerns.</p>
<p>There are a few more - the School of International Studies at the University of the Pacific, for instance. You can also maybe throw the Korbel School of International Studies at the University of Denver in there, although it's primarily a graduate school that also offers a single B.A. degree in International Studies. But yea, it's definitely a very small number.</p>
