Harvey Mudd College

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.

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.

Here's a list from PayScale.com showing the top five engineering schools based on salary potential. The first figure is the median starting salary for undergraduates and the second figure is the median mid-career salary: Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT): $72,200, $126,000 California Institute of Technology (CIT): $75,500, $123,000 Harvey Mudd College: $71,800, $122,000 Polytechnic University of New York, Brooklyn: $62,400, $114,000 Cooper Union: $62,200, $114,000 To see a full list of schools, go here: http://www.payscale.com/best-colleges/best-engineering-colleges.asp Hope that helps, Assistant to Dr. Salary

To my knowledge, the top three technical schools in the nation are: MIT University CalTech University Harvey Mudd College You may not know of Mudd, but it is an excellent school (you should check out their programming, I know they are amazing for engineering). There are others, too, but those are the top three that I have had listed to me from quite a few tech professionals.

Here's a list showing the top 10 colleges/universities in California based on salary potential: Stanford University $70,400 California Institute of Technology (CIT) $75,500 Harvey Mudd College $71,800 University of California, Berkeley $59,900 Occidental College $51,900 Cal Poly San Luis Obispo $57,200 University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) $52,600 University of California, San Diego (UCSD) $51,100 Pomona College $48,600 University of Southern California (USC) $54,800 The salaries shown are median starting salaries.
