MA degrees for East Asia - China

[graduator]

I would like to know the best opportunities to study about China (economy, business mainly, and IR) on a graduate level.

1) Which programs are best in US? Elsewhere?

I know of SAIS, SIPA, SOAS, LSE-PKU, UCSD Asia Pacific focus, NYU EAS, UCLA..

Main point is that curriculum or other has some type of business/economy aspect, as I want to pursue private sector after mainly.

2) For NYU East Asia and Columbia MARSEA, Im assuming GRE verbal is weighted most. What kind of score one must anticipate for admission, AT LEAST? Just approximations are ok

Thanks

Definitely UCSD IR/PS. It's the only school in the country that is specifically focused on the Pacific Rim. Also, you should probably post this in the Government Affairs section...that's where all us IR kids are!
