<p>Im having trouble deciding on which school to go for poli sci</p>
<p>UCSD
UCI
UCD
UCSB</p>
<p>i herad UCSD is very good maybe top 25 nationally and equal to UCLA</p>
<p>the others im not so sure</p>
<p>UCSD is ranked #7 nationally in Poli Sci and #1 nationally for IR concerning East Asia. Those are grad school rankings, there are no undergrad rankings so that's all you really have to go off of... out of those other schools UCD is closest at 29, UCLA is #11 btw, UCB is #5.</p>
<p>Good question.</p>
<p>I'm still deciding between UCLA Poli Sci and UCB Poli Sci -- trying to figure out which ones better (do the graduate school rankings really reflect undergrad?)</p>
<p>btw...where are you getting those numbers trumpet?</p>
<p>Remmert - UCLA recommended</p>
<p>Remmert - UCB recommended</p>
<p>The UCDC program, which allows UC students to enroll in an internship in DC, is also offered at those UCs you mentioned.</p>
<p>Getting the numbers from US News & World Report, there are a few other legitimate rankings out there but the general public goes by USNWR.
Isn't UCDC offered at every UC?</p>
<p>Yep, pretty much.</p>
<p>It really depends on what you're looking for. I talked to my poli sci professors and they said the approach is pretty different. UCLA is much more moderate, and has more of a focus on methodology and structure. Cal's program is more freethinking and liberal, and it has awesome political philosophy/political thought courses.</p>
<p>The chair of the department at my college actually got his PhD from UCLA, but he's mad at them now for being so moderate :D</p>
