VCU is considered a tip-top school for advertising. More of a graduate program though.

Top 5 program (with Harvard, Stanford and Princeton) in some sub areas of poly sci and top 15 overall.
I know a very top kid who matriculated there and was like "decent enough school but huh?" but it was a purposeful choice for her interest.


Rochester is a well respected top 50 school.


Sure but it's not ranked alongside Harvard and Stanford in every discipline like is is in Poly Sci.

Link? US News has it at #19 for poli sci. The two sub areas it earned a ranking were international politics (#19) and political methodology (#7).

You are wrong to get a poli sci degree unless it is from a top 5 program. And maybe even then.


Rochester's Department of Political Science was ranked #4 (behind just Harvard, Stanford, and Princeton)


By who?

USNWR has it at #19.


I swear people make up “facts” all over these boards.

Top 5 Political Science departs :

Stanford
Harvard
Princeton
Berkeley
Michigan.

UC Davis is ranked #38 nationally. I’d hardly call that “low ranked”.


It's not but for some folks it's t20 or nothing.

I think it is great to highlight places I've never even heard and recognize they are top notch in some specialized fields!

Place like UVA and Rochester are good in general. I think this list is for schools DCUM people normally ignore but shouldn't if their kids are interested in very specific fields

BYU - #3 accounting program in the nation

St. Joseph's University in Philly - #8 for analytics and #7 for insurance

University of Utah - #5 for entrepreneurship

Georgia State - #4 for insurance and #9 for Information Systems,
...

What is your source for all these rankings?
