Any good school can prepare you well, but make certain that you go abroad and do a substantive internship in that area. The latter is what makes DC so attractive, but you can also get great internships through other schools.

If you’re serious about this, you’ll be going to graduate school, so I’d recommend that you spend undergrad going to a great LAC, even if you don’t major in Poli Sci. For example, some of the most important work in international relations is being done in agriculture, so don’t cut yourself short now by attempting to specialize too soon. Learn a lot about a lot of stuff, and then go to grad school or work on the Hill.
