About the Department

The Political Science Department represents a broad and diverse array of interests. Our undergraduate program covers eight core areas in political science: American politics, comparative politics, international relations, political thought, research methods, public administration, race/ethnic politics, and public law. Our Master's Program prepares students for careers in public service and administration. We pride ourselves on preparing majors to enter careers in public service, non-profits, law, and government. We are a department committed to anti-racism and social justice. Together, our students, faculty, and staff make the department one of the most vibrant communities on campus.
