When you enroll in our undergraduate and graduate academic programs—the acclaimed MPA Program among them—you won’t find yourself regurgitating lecture information, you’ll be researching and applying your knowledge to real-world social and political problems on a local, national, and global scale.

Our committed and highly respected faculty are dedicated to modeling how to research practical solutions for existing challenges. Because of this, our programs don’t just teach you about government, they open up leadership careers in many different professions to you—careers in public, private, local, or even international arenas.  Many of our students are active in the pre-law club and attend law school once they graduate.

We encourage you to get involved through our many special opportunities.Take advantage of the opportunity to work in the Public Policy Institute or get involved with the Political Science Club or one of our other partner program and organizations such as the Local Government Program Training Program, the Model United Nations, the College Greens, the College Democrats, and the College Republicans.
