Top Int'l Relations/Studies Programs at Public Schools

<p>I need a safety/match school that is a public school that has a good international relations/studies program. Does anyone have any rankings or opinions they could share?</p>

<p>My goal is to attend an ivy league law school after my undergraduate experience. Assuming that I currently have the stats to be a competitive undergraduate applicant to an ivy league school, what would be some prestigious public schools I could apply to for international relations/studies?</p>

<p>Foreign Policy magazine had rankings for this... I don't have it right here but I do remember that both U Michigan and UCSD were top 20 for undergrad IR. Most were private schools...starting with Harvard, Pton, Stanford and Georgetown, I believe. There were a few liberal arts schools in the mix like Swat and Williams.</p>

<p>Cross posting this from your public poli-sci thread:
I would take a look at Michigan State for it's James Madison residential college. It's a small public policy school within Michigan State that is very well respected and places quite a few people in grad/law schools. You get the small classes, close community, and prof. interaction of a LAC but the opportunities (and tuition) of a big research university. This is, as of now, my top choice as a prospective political science/public policy major.</p>

<p>It offers International Relations as well, and it's just as respected as it's public policy program</p>
