A Message from the Chair

Dear Students and Visitors:

It’s been taking us a while, but we finally can offer you a revamped website that you hopefully will find a helpful guide to our programs, activities, and faculty.

Political Science offers you insights into a wide array of fascinating issues, including domestic politics, political behavior, international affairs, comparative politics, and public administration.  Consequently, students from our programs have entered a wide variety of careers, academic, political and professional.

The upper division courses political science majors take are typically small. Small classes lead to close interactions with the instructors, and opportunities to develop students’ writing and analytical skills.  Students in our department can take advantage of internships and other extra-curricular activities. Our graduate programs in Political Science and Public Administration are designed to prepare students for careers in public or nonprofit management, academia, or other professional pursuits. Rigorous coursework as well as professional development opportunities round out our program offerings.

If you have any questions about our programs or activities don’t hesitate to visit with me, our faculty and staff, or feel free to just drop by.

Hope to see you,

Margaret Reid
