Claremont McKenna College

Possibilities include the following schools, all of which are private. Except for a very few majors, it is not worthwhile to pay out of state undergraduate tuition fees at any campus of the University of California or of the California State University. All of the schools listed below are liberal arts or engineering colleges, except for University of Southern California. They all offer excellent undergraduate education, although not all of them offer all majors. California has no private US News list top-fifty general universities except for Stanford and USC. (I consider Cal Tech in Pasadena to be a science and engineering university, the existence of a few other majors notwithstanding. Admission possibility to it is at about the same level as Stanford.) Consider Pomona College, Claremont McKenna College, Harvey Mudd College (engineering), and Pitzer College, all of which are part of the Claremont Colleges group. Also consider Occidental College and USC.

According collegeboard.com, these colleges in California offer majors that might also mean they would offer Farsi: Cabrillo College Aptos, California California State University: Chico Chico, California California State University: Long Beach Long Beach, California California State University: Sacramento Sacramento, California Claremont McKenna College Claremont, California Cypress College Cypress, California Laney College Oakland, California Loyola Marymount University Los Angeles, California National University La Jolla, California Occidental College Los Angeles, California Pepperdine University Malibu, California Pitzer College Claremont, California Pomona College Claremont, California San Diego State University San Diego, California Scripps College Claremont, California University of California: Berkeley Berkeley, California University of California: Los Angeles Los Angeles, California University of California: Riverside Riverside, California University of California: Santa Barbara Santa Barbara, California University of Redlands Redlands, California

Here is what a couple of my friends said 1) one of the best programs in the nation for political science is Wellesley College. It's the best for liberal arts colleges and universities from my knowledge. I think Yale has a comparable program. 2) Michigan State's James Madison is an excellent small liberal arts college within one of the largest universities in the country. I would definetly recommend anyone interested in political science to consider Michigan State's James Madison. 3) georgetown 4) schools on west coast that have good politcal science programs: Stanford, Berkeley, UCLA, USC, Pomona College, Claremont McKenna College, Harvey Mudd College, Scripps College 5) George Washington University - home of Crossfire on CNN, and adjunct profs who double as commentators on CNN and MSNBC. Incredibe opportunities to intern in DC at numerous government agencies. 6) Spartan - Are you sure about Harvey Mudd? I thought they were primarily a science, engineering, and math college. I checked their website and the only majors listed were math, science, and engineering. They do have a department of humanities and social sciences but no professors of political science. They may have some good courses in areas related to political science but it appears that all of the social science courses are designed to provide a well-rounded education to engineering-science majors. 7) Harvey Mudd is mostly science. Also, American is crap. Besides the fact that it is in DC, it has nothing going for it. George Washington is better, and Georgetown better still. Personally I think that Georgetown is probably the best school in the country for political science because it has an excellent program (it's called "government" instead of "political science" at Georgetown) AND it's in DC. If you want to study poli sci on a more theoretical or international level (in other words, if experience in Washington isn't that important for you) then obviously schools like Princeton or Stanford would be best. Hope this helps!! Sorry.

There are some outstanding universities with political science programs on the East Coast. Some that come to mind are the following. Be aware that these universities have their specialties within the field of political science, so I would check out each of these universities individually: American University George Washington University Georgetown University Johns Hopkins University Swarthmore College Tufts University Williams College New York University There are some other universities that also have excellent political science programs, but they're not on the East Coast. These include: Claremont McKenna College Pomona College University of Chicago Washington University in St. Louis Macalester College University of Michigan Good luck!
