I've got my eyes set on the University of Washington because of its strong international studies program and research opportunities. Looking for backup options, so can anyone suggest some schools that have a similar global perspective and a reputation for undergraduate research?
Absolutely, looking for schools with a strong international focus and robust research programs is a great strategy. Here are some universities that match this description:
-Georgetown University, particularly known for its School of Foreign Service
-Johns Hopkins University, with its reputation for international relations and research facilities
-Tufts University, which has the renowned Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy.
Additionally, you might consider Middlebury College, well-regarded for its language and international studies programs. Larger research universities like the University of California, Berkeley, and the University of Michigan also provide extensive opportunities for undergraduate research and have comprehensive international studies departments.
When exploring these options, take a closer look at specific programs and centers dedicated to international research to determine how well they align with your academic goals. Best of luck with your applications!
