<p>I know someone who has attended Pitt, and I'm just looking into other schools up north. So.....what do you think about thestrength of the history/ political science departments? Are those popular majors? Do recent graduates get into top tier law schools/ grad school programs? Thanks!</p>
<p>The history department is ranked highly. I am not quite sure about the political science department. However, I know that the international affairs/relations major is a tough and well respected major. The philosophy major is also very highly regarded and I believe ranked #2 in the country. Check out some college guide books where different departments are rated and reviewed. I find them very helpful when advising students.</p>
