swr22 Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 Damn, my work computer won't let me access them.... Will someone copy and paste here? When are they out officially?
jackassjim Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 Damn, my work computer won't let me access them.... Will someone copy and paste here? When are they out officially? Here you go: 1 Harvard 1 Princeton 1 Stanford 4 Michigan 5 Yale 6 Berkeley 7 Columbia 7 UCSD 9 Duke 9 MIT 10 UCLA?
swr22 Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 Thanks so much. Interesting. Is it just the top 10?
DONTDOIT Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 No, its actually the top 25. You just can't count.
natofone Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 Only big change is Princeton up 3 spots and Chicago falling out of the top 10 (not a surprise).

polisciphd Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 Well, I am happy that UIUC went up a spot, but curious about why Cornell dropped.
mangopenguin Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 Do you know the rankings for the individual subfields?
polisciphd Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 Here are the 2005 rankings, for comparative purposes 1. Harvard University 2. Stanford University 3. University of Michigan 4. Princeton University 5. University of California Berkeley 5. Yale University 7. University of California

AllFiredUp Posted April 22, 2009 Author Posted April 22, 2009 Only big change is Princeton up 3 spots and Chicago falling out of the top 10 (not a surprise). Say more, best of men. I often hear this about Chicago but have never heard exactly why this is the case.
natofone Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 Chicago has lost several good faculty in the past 4-5 years and their more recent hires haven't been that great (outside of stealing Wilkinson from Duke). They're also rumored to possibly be losing some of their heavy hitters this year. A few of their big names are also no longer publishing or doing much research. I'm speaking only of IR and CP. I don't know anything about American or Theory.
Descrates Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 If anyone has the theory rankings could you post them? Thanks
Manchild Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 Theory is not really a unified field like the others, making rankings somewhat (though perhaps not entirely) pointless. Main thing to know is not to go anywhere outside the "top-ten" or so if you want to end up with a job.
Descrates Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 Here's the new theory rankings: 1. Harvard Chicago 3. Princeton 4. Yale 5. Berkeley 6. Duke 7. Northwestern 8. Johns Hopkins 9. Columbia 10.UCLA

mwash Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 yeah i find these rankings a little questionable. i have a hard time believing that chicago isn't a top 10 program.
Descrates Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 Thoughts? Chicago seems too high. Its possible, but who would you rank above them right now. In terms of who would provide the best education in theory, it seems like it would be a wash among most of the top ten programs. So then we are dealing with who has the most cache in terms of placements, and on that count, it does seem hard to put Chicago in the same league as Princeton or Harvard. They probably belong more in the Yale/Berkeley range.

DrRockso Posted April 24, 2009 Posted April 24, 2009 http://grad-schools.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-graduate-schools/top-political-science-schools/rankings How is Tulane on the list at all? While USNWR didn't rank them, Tulane isn't offering graduate programs in PoliSci at all at this point. (If they were, I would have applied there....)
