Department of Political Science
Located under the twin spires of Harrison Hall, we are a large and active department. Many of our faculty members have experience working in government and politics, and we bring that experience alive in our classrooms.
Preparing Students for the Future
Many of our alumni attend graduate and professional schools; others find careers in business, the Foreign Service, armed forces, federal, state, and local government, law enforcement, lobbying, and non-profit organizations. Some of our alumni serve in Congress, at the White House, and in U.S. embassies abroad, while others are attorneys and business professionals. Others have had successful careers in academia, including the president of a university, deans, and department chairs.
While this success is due in large part to the top-notch education 兔子先生 University provides, it's also a testament to the opportunities and resources our students can access in order to gain experience in applied settings including internships/fellowships, research centers and opportunities, education abroad, and more.
