i’m pretty certain that all of the graduate programs in the department of political science were axed due to the Renewal Plan. All graduate students who are currently in the program are allowed to finish up their work, when all of the current grad. students are gone the graduate program will be officially ended.

normally undergrad departments aren’t ranked- except for the gourman report which we all know is bs since there is no data analysis.

i was looking at the USnews grad school rankings for 2008 about a month ago and i can definitely tell you that tulane was not ranking in the political science fields or any of its subsets- only about 20-30 make the ranking.

usually, however, the strength of a department at the graduate level lends its reputation to undergraduates in that department- especially if you are applying to grad schools in the same field as your major.

here’s a faculty scholarly activity index of poli sci departments- this ranking is done by the chronicle of higher education- it has its flaws, but is decent if you have to see rankings for grad programs

1) WashU
2)Harvard U
3)Yale
4)SUNY- Stony Brook
5) U of Illinois - Urbana
6) U of Kansas
7)U of Maryland- College Park
8)Princeton
9)UC- Santa Barbara
10) UVA

hopefully, that will give you a bearing on some better schools to apply to for polisci
good luck
