Thank you for posting this. I'm interested, too. (For my son.) Other than Georgetown, nothing has jumped out at me.

If you're looking for LACs, Claremont McKenna College is excellent.

Posted by Chryseis:

"These rankings were published in the March/April 2007 Issue of Foreign Policy Magazine.

I think these maybe the most valid/credible rankings so far.

Top 20 Undergraduate Programs

1. Harvard University 48%
2. Princeton University 46%
3. Stanford University 30%
4. Georgetown University 28%
5. Columbia University 28%
6. Yale University 23%
7. University of Chicago 21%
8. University of California-Berkeley 12%
9. Dartmouth College 11%
10. George Washington University 10%
11. American University 10%
12. University of Michigan 9%
13. Tufts University 8%
14. Swarthmore College 8%
14. University of California-San Diego 8%
16. Cornell University 6%
17. Brown University 6%
18. Williams College 5%
19. Duke University 5%
19. Johns Hopkins University 5%"

Some of these are not official IR majors, but might be PP or PA majors.
