<p>Foreign Policy ranking places Dartmouth among nation’s top ten institutions for undergraduate studies in international relations </p>
<p>A new ranking of the U.S.’ strongest colleges and universities for international relations studies, published in the March/April issue of the magazine Foreign Policy, places Dartmouth ninth among those offering such studies at the undergradute level - making Dartmouth the highest-ranked institution offering such studies only at the undergraduate level.</p>
<p>The ranking is based on a survey conducted by researchers at the College of William and Mary. The survey asked more than 1,000 faculty members in the U.S. who work in the field of international relations to rank the nation’s 20 best international relations programs.</p>
<p>Michael Mastanduno, associate dean of the faculty for the social sciences and the Nelson Rockefeller Professor of Government, said the ranking reflects Dartmouth’s approach to faculty recruiting. “We consciously recruit faculty who care a lot about teaching,” said Mastanduno. “Most of the Dartmouth IR faculty can be anywhere they want to be. Those who come here came because they felt that teaching undergraduates, especially smart ones, and being in an environment where people care about teaching as well as high quality research, is more important than being in a graduate program.”</p>
