Political Science Ranking Research Project

[RWBG]

Hi Everyone,

So I'm working on a political science ranking research project, and I've been trying to compile a list of all the different political science department rankings I can find. I thought I would post what I've found so far, with the request that if people know any others I've missed, they let me know what they are. I also figured this would also be a useful resource for people in itself.

PS had one in their April 2010 edition, but it was just for political theory programs I believe...

Thanks for those citations. There are a few that I didn't have. I think there may be a problem with the list you cited for the NRC results that were published a few months ago. I think the rankings list you posted is actually the one from the earlier data in the 1990s. (Chicago's position, for example, is different in the 2010 data than the earlier ranking.)

Here is an interesting blog article from The Monkey Cage discussing the new ratings:

Also at bottom of the blog, there is a link to click through to get to some of the 2010 NRC data as posted on the website Phds.org: http://graduate-school.phds.org/rankings/political-science

I also have an excel link that came from http://www.nap.edu/rdp/ where I paid to download the complete data. See also this: http://sites.nationalacademies.org/PGA/Resdoc/

And good luck with your project!

You're right, the data in the link I posted is old. Thanks for catching it! Also, thanks for the links you posted.
