Masters in IR ranking 2007

[grad_cafe_101]

Here's a bit of outdated ranking (2007) of terminal Master's programs in IR.

It's based on surveys of American scholars.

Just wanted to give you guys something to refer to as you make your decisions.

1 Georgetown University

2 Johns Hopkins University

3 Harvard University

4 Tufts University

5 Columbia University

6 Princeton University

7 George Washington University

8 American University

9 University of Denver

10 Syracuse University

11 University of California, San Diego

12 University of Chicago

12 Yale University

14 Stanford University

15 University of Pittsburgh

16 University of California, Berkeley

16 University of Maryland

18 MIT

18 Monterey Institute

20 University of Southern California

21 University of Michigan

22 Duke University

22 London School of Economics

22 New York University

22 Texas A&M University

22 University of Kentucky

22 University of Virginia

Don't take these too seriously though. As always, rankings can never be objective.

To anyone wanting to know more, here's a link to the study:

Just to be clear, these are two different rankings systems. The 2007 data ("The View from the Ivory Tower") is from the College of William & Mary's IR center (#tribepride), and the 2011 data ("Inside the Ivory Tower") is from Foreign Policy magazine. Not to say anything about either system other than that they're not directly related methodologically.

I would dispute that, purely because it says on FP's website that the rankings come from WM's TRIP report: http://www.foreignpolicy.com/articles/2012/01/03/top_ten_international_relations_masters_programs

You're right, it is published in FP, but WM does the research, even in 2011. Here is the link (pg 27): http://irtheoryandpractice.wm.edu/projects/trip/TRIP%202011%20RESULTS%20US%20RESPONDENTS.pdf
