Our Undergraduate Program
Two key components of the Department of Political Science’s mission is to provide undergraduate political science majors with both a broad and deep understanding of government and politics as well as the analytical skills by which this knowledge is acquired and the communication skills necessary to convey it to others, and to offer both introductory and advanced political science courses that are enlightening to undergraduate students in other majors.
By clicking on titles on the left panel on this page you may learn about requirements to major or minor in Political Science, the courses being offered in the Department, how to obtain advisement in the Department, and various other services and opportunities for political science undergraduate students–from internship and independent study possibilities to awards and honor programs.
