It seems difficult to evaluate individual departments in schools. If a school offers international studies, international relations or a similar program would one indicator of their seriousness / competence be languages offered? If school A has an established program in Russian and / or Chinese and school B had a more limited offering would that tell a potential student anything about the effectiveness of the international studies program?

Eventually we will visit the top choice schools and S can meet with professors etc. In the mean time is there anything else he can look at that would be helpful in assembling a list of schools that have an international studies program?

S is looking at USNWR top tier schools but not the super selective schools at the top of the heap, more of the schools for B+ students with solid test scores.

Thanks.
