<p>Add to Global Affairs and International Affairs programs in International Conflict Resolution, International Business, and an additional interdisciplinary program in internatinal relations.

<p>As for rankings…Check out the latest version that ranked Mason the #1 school to watch in THE NATION!!! the more traditional rankings have a huge weighting on how much money the school spends - there are virtually no schools founded in the last 50 years that have any chance of getting into the top tier without a medical school to expend vast resources - spending moves your rank MUCH higher. If only we wasted more money! ;-)</p>
