Tufts has the number one international relations program in the united states. It's fairly close outside of Boston, and can offer you the best resources to traveling abroad and learning about international affairs in the nation. Half of our incoming student body has the intention of being an IR major.
Other schools that you might consider:
Johns Hopkins, UVA, American, Northwestern,

Claremont McKenna in California has an excellent international relations program, one of the best in the country.

Of course, much depends on your stats - there are great programs available for people at all levels. If you give us an idea of your stats, we can target our suggestions a bit more.

Macalester and Mount Holyoke have the largest percentage of international students of any of the LACs, and strong language, international relations, and study abroad programs. CMC is excellent, as is Scripps, which has the International Center for the Study of the European Union, and excellent language programs. Earlham is well-known for its Peace and Global Studies Program, and more than half of all students go abroad.

Claremont-McKenna is excellent for both international relations and international business.
