<p>Stanford’s polisci department is also fantastic. As an undergrad you get both the academic side of polisci in the department, and the policy side in research institutions. The core department of researchers has a lot of talent and resources for research, as do the think tanks/policy oriented centers. Check out [Freeman</a> Spogli Institute for International Studies (FSI Stanford)](<a href=“http://fsi.stanford.edu/]Freeman”>http://fsi.stanford.edu/) to get a taste for all the research institutions related to polisci/IR issues.</p>
<p>Don’t think that because you’re at Stanford you’re away from policy.</p>
