Which of these schools have the best English and International Affairs programs?

<p>Well you put Columbia and Stanford on your list so I figured you were aiming for the top ;)</p>

<p>Penn and Yale have requirements that are less rigid than Chicago or Columbia (that being said I'd still prefer Chicago/Columbia because I am a firm believer that everyone in a republic should know the great works of Western civilization before he/she can be called Educated).</p>

<p>Penn's International Relations major requirements are here <a href="http://www.sas.upenn.edu/irp/new_curriculum.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.sas.upenn.edu/irp/new_curriculum.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>Yale's International Studies major requirements are here

<p>A cursory glance reveals that Yale's requires a more intensive language focus while Penn's requires a greater focus on economics.</p>
