<p>Grinnell doesn’t have an IR major, but there are a couple students there who are doing independent majors in IR. If you’re crafting an independent major yourself, so you may have more control over the PoliSci content.</p>
<p>In general Grinnell’s academic program is much more flexible than Carleton’s. There are fewer course requirements outside of the major, which might make it easier to spend an entire year abroad and still meet all the graduation requirements.</p>
<p>You’ve probably already seen this, but here’s a recent thread from the Grinnell forum about majoring in IR. <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/grinnell-college/1105982-no-international-relations-grinnell-wait.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/grinnell-college/1105982-no-international-relations-grinnell-wait.html</a></p>
