For IR you should consider study abroad options as a possible remedy. LSE would be a ideal for a year abroad. Here’s what the regular BSc degree curriculum looks like at LSE. http://www.lse.ac.uk/resources/calendar/programmeRegulations/undergraduate/BScInternationalRelations.htm

You probably should contact Reed about planning to work around college’s limited IR curriculum before accepting. Incidentally, I knew someone who did a year at LSE from Vassar many years ago and raved more about LSE than Vassar.

Mac is one of the few, if not the only, LAC that has a reputation in IR. If you want to remain stateside for 4 years or don’t want to get involved in having to do Reed’s qualifiers and thesis with study abroad or away (i.e.“junior quals” at the start of the senior year), Mac may be the better choice.
