I'm planning on majoring in poli sci but how strong is the department at duke?

Speaking as a current poli sci major I believe the department was ranked somewhere in the top ten in the nation. The professors here are really great (especially if you want to do political theory or international relations). Hope this helps

Peter Feaver and Michael Gillespie teach freshman courses. That should tell you something.

Is there anything special about duke's political science?

It's the only program in the country besides Yale to offer the awesome "Grand Strategy" course. Look it up.

Here, I did it for you: Where Policy Makers Are Born - WSJ.com

The part about Duke is near the bottom.

Also, all those interested in PoliSci should look seriously at the PubPol program.
