Academic Programs

Our programs intermingle applied and theoretical knowledge as a way to develop student skills in interpreting, evaluating, and measuring critical information in the political realm.

As a student of political science you will be acquainted with both national and global perspectives with courses in American, comparative, and international politics, as well as political theory.

Additionally, students in our Department develop an excellent foundation in economics, law, and quantitative methods which they can later apply hands-on through our extensive internship program. There are paid as well as volunteer internships available in the Governor's Office, legislature, and other governing agencies.
