The results of the 2014 Ivory Tower survey—a collaboration between Foreign Policy and the Teaching, Research, and International Policy (TRIP) project at the College of William & Mary—provide an insider’s guide. Responses from 1,615 IR scholars drawn from 1,375 U.S. colleges and universities determined rankings for the leading Ph.D., terminal master’s, and undergraduate programs in IR. (The scholars were asked to list the top five institutions in each category.) The survey also quizzed respondents about recent historical events and future policy challenges: Just how plausible is a U.S. war with China, for example, and who was the most effective secretary of state over the past 50 years? (Hint: Neither Condoleezza Rice nor John Kerry.)

All told, the Ivory Tower survey offers a window into how America’s top IR scholars see the world today—and which institutions are effectively nurturing future generations of thinkers and policymakers.

出願者の学校選択作業においてはランキングが全てを決定付けるものではありませんが、学校リサーチを行う上で、対象となる学校をリストアップする際には役立つと思います。特に大学院レベルでは、卒業後のキャリアを達成するために適したプログラムである旨をエッセイや推薦状コンテンツを通して入学審査官と共有しなければなりません。そうしたポイントを意識しながら、ランキングと向き合い、学校調査を進めていきましょう。
